In 2024, Germany and Sweden are the largest importers of sulphite wood pulp from non-EU countries, with Germany slightly leading. Despite this, Germany's imports declined by 3.73% year-on-year, while Sweden's increased by 8.81%. The United Kingdom showed a modest growth of 3.94%, and the Netherlands experienced the highest growth at 67.03%, while France and Poland saw their imports completely wiped out. Modest declines were seen in Italy and Finland's imports. Meanwhile, Ireland and Portugal experienced growth, albeit on smaller volumes. The CAGR over the past five years would give a more comprehensive view of trends.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts due to environmental policies influencing sourcing. Germany and Sweden will likely remain dominant players, but countries with lower base import volumes, like the Netherlands, may see further significant percentage changes. Market dynamics and bilateral trade agreements may also impact these import patterns.
