From 2013 to 2023, the import of mechanical pulps of other fibrous material to Brazil has seen significant fluctuations. Initially, the volume grew substantially, peaking at 2794.5 thousand kilograms in 2018, followed by a period of relative stability until 2023, where it reached 2966.2 thousand kilograms. Key variations include a dramatic rise of 409.84% in 2018 and a subsequent stabilization with year-on-year variations hovering around 5-28%. Notably, 2023 marked a moderate increase of 5.6% over 2022.
Looking forward from 2024 to 2028, growth is forecasted to continue at a steady pace, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.83%, culminating in an import volume of 3787.5 thousand kilograms by 2028. This indicates an average yearly increase of around 3.83%, reflecting a more stabilized growth trajectory.
Future trends to watch include potential disruptions in global supply chains, environmental regulations affecting pulp production and import policies, technological advancements in pulping processes, and shifts in demand from domestic industries utilizing mechanical pulps. Additionally, economic factors such as inflation, currency exchange rates, and trade agreements may impact the forecasted growth rates significantly.
