The UK’s imports of corrugated paper and paperboard are projected to rise moderately from 399.26 million kilograms in 2024 to 407.61 million kilograms in 2028. Considering this trajectory, there is a stable year-on-year growth averaging around 0.6%. Comparatively, the market stood at 397 million kilograms in 2023, indicating a modest upward trend driven by increased packaging demands post-pandemic.
Future trends to watch in this sector include:
- Environmental regulations influencing packaging materials.
- Technological advances in recycling processes.
- Fluctuations in global supply chains affecting import volume.
