In 2023, Germany's cartonboard imports stood at 1.43 million metric tons. The forecasted figures suggest a slight decrease to 1.42 million metric tons in 2024, and a gentle downward trend continues through 2028, stabilizing at 1.40 million metric tons. Year-on-year variations are minimal, showing a near steady state with only around a 0.7% decrease from 2023 to 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a mild contraction.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global supply chains, increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions, and potential changes in trade policies that could impact imports. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for anticipating changes in import volumes.
