The import of logs of Beech (Fagus spp) to Germany is forecasted to rise gradually from 113.05 thousand cubic meters in 2024 to 115.05 thousand cubic meters by 2028. Comparing these forecasts with 2023 figures, where imports stood at approximately 112.52 thousand cubic meters, reflects a modest year-on-year growth. Specifically, each year forecasts an increase slightly above 0.4%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is around 0.6%, signaling a steady but slow expansion in import volumes.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in demand within the European furniture and construction sectors, which may influence import levels. Additionally, potential changes in EU trade regulations or forest management strategies related to sustainability might impact the availability and importation rates of Beech logs into Germany.
