The import of filter paper and paperboard to the UK is projected to decrease from 3.7882 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.4883 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the actual imports stood at a higher level, underscoring a consistent downward trend over the forecast period. This declining trend reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that emphasizes an average annual decrease through 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in UK trade policies post-Brexit that may impact import volumes.
Changes in demand for sustainable materials that could affect filter paper usage.
Market dynamics in the global paper industry, particularly in areas such as packaging, which could influence demand.
