In 2023, the import of filter paper and paperboard to the UK was recorded at an actual value. Moving forward, the forecast for 2024 is $8.96 million, declining annually to $6.47 million by 2028. This represents a trend of decreasing imports, with each subsequent year reflecting lower values than the preceding one. Year-on-year percentage variations illustrate a consistent downtrend with diminishing volume. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast indicates a declining trend.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in international trade policies, the impact of Brexit adjustments on supply chains, advancements in eco-friendly alternatives potentially reducing demand, and economic fluctuations that could further influence import levels.
