From 2023 to 2024, the import of paper and paperboard coated on one and both sides with other inorganic substances to Germany is expected to decrease, marking the beginning of a downward trend. Over the next five years, the forecast shows a consistent decline from 13.782 million kilograms in 2024 to 7.7407 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year percentage reduction highlights a significant shrinkage, while the compound annual growth rate for this period would represent a considerable negative deviation from previous years.
Key future trends to monitor include the impact of environmental regulations, shifts in domestic production capacities, and evolving consumer demand for sustainable packaging. Additionally, technological advancements in recycling and alternative materials could influence import volumes.
