The forecast for the import of cigarette paper in rolls of a width less than 5 cm or in the form of booklets or tubes to the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 2.5032 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.8055 million kilograms in 2028. Year-on-year analysis reveals a consistent negative growth rate. If we consider this trend alongside the previous year values of 2023, it indicates a continuous decline in demand or importation by about 5%-7% annually.
Future trends to watch include increased regulation and health awareness reducing smoking prevalence, leading to lower demand for related products, such as cigarette paper. Additionally, shifts towards alternative smoking products could further impact these import figures.
