In 2023, Germany's import of coniferous wood veneer sheets and sheets for plywood stood at an unspecified baseline. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent decline is forecasted, starting at 22.98 thousand cubic meters in 2024 and decreasing yearly by approximately 6–8%. By 2028, imports are expected to reach 17.42 thousand cubic meters. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates a negative trend, highlighting a significant decline in import volume.

Future trends to watch for include:

Germany’s domestic policy shift towards sustainable timber sourcing.
Advancements in alternative materials that could replace wood veneers.
Potential economic factors influencing import capacities and demands.
Shifts in global supply chains and trade relations affecting availability and pricing.
