The non-coniferous industrial roundwood imports to Germany are forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, dropping from 362.88 thousand cubic meters in 2024 to 316.47 thousand cubic meters in 2028. Compared to 2023, when imports were higher, this continuous decrease reflects a clear downward trajectory. The year-on-year decline shows a consistent reduction in imports. Over the upcoming five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a negative trend, emphasizing reduced import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include changes in environmental policies, shifts in domestic demand and production capabilities, and potential trade agreements affecting non-coniferous wood imports. Additionally, monitoring technological advances in wood processing and potential substitutes may impact import volumes in the long term.
