The import of veneer or ply sheet of non-coniferous or tropical wood to France is forecasted to reach $181.66 million by 2028, showing a steady upward trend from $154.32 million in 2024. This represents an average annual growth rate of approximately 4% over the five-year forecast period. In 2023, the import value stood significantly lower, suggesting a robust growth trajectory starting from 2024.
In future trends, attention should be given to:
- The impact of environmental regulations, which could affect import volumes and sourcing strategies.
- Evolving trade agreements within the EU and with wood-exporting countries, potentially leading to changes in tariffs and trade flow.
- Market demand within the construction and furniture industries in France, driving the need for such imports.
