In 2023, the UK imported approximately 0.995 million cubic meters of fibreboard. The forecast from 2024 reveals a steady increase in imports, with volume rising to 1.0071 million cubic meters in 2024. Over the next four years, the steady annual growth averages about 1.2%, culminating in 1.0547 million cubic meters by 2028. This suggests a consistent upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in supply chain dynamics and import regulations post-Brexit.
- Environmental policies potentially impacting raw material sourcing and import volumes.
- Fluctuations in construction demand as it directly influences fibreboard requirements.
