The import of filter paper and paperboard to Germany is projected to rise steadily from 2024 through 2028, with volumes increasing from 16.416 million kilograms in 2024 to 17.593 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year increase. Assuming the actual import volume for this category was lower than the 2024 forecast in 2023, this trend indicates positive growth. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years will provide insights into the steady demand trajectory for these materials.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in paper filtration methods that might affect quality preferences and imports.
- Environmental policies that could impact the material choice, favoring sustainable options.
- Economic factors influencing Germany's manufacturing and packaging sectors, driving demand for filter paper and paperboard.
