The UK's forecasted imports of non-wood fibre pulp from 2024 to 2028 show a consistent downward trend. The quantity is expected to decrease from 16.83 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 15.3 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of a declining percentage over this five-year period. The declining trend suggests a reduced reliance on non-wood fibre pulp imports, possibly influenced by local production increases or shifts to alternative materials.

Future trends to watch:

Increased adoption of sustainable and local alternatives might further reduce import needs.
Market dynamics related to cost, availability, and innovation in non-wood fibre technologies could impact the import trajectory.
Environmental regulations could significantly influence import demand and sourcing decisions.
