In 2023, the import value of machinery for making paper or paperboard to the US stood at an undisclosed value, but the trend forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. Starting at 338 in 2024, it is expected to decrease progressively to 309 by 2028. The consistent year-on-year reduction highlights a downward trend in import demand over this forecast period, with the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicating a sustained decrease in demand over the five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in machinery and domestic production capabilities might further reduce import reliance.
Environmental regulations and sustainability trends could impact machinery choices significantly.
Market fluctuations in paper and paperboard usage may influence machinery demand indirectly.
