The re-import of unbleached kraft paper and paperboard weighing 150 g/m2 or less to France shows a forecasted decline in volume from 268.48 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 231.0 thousand kilograms by 2028. The 2023 actual re-import volume serves as a baseline for comparison but is not explicitly provided. The year-on-year analysis indicates an annual decline: -3.6% from 2024 to 2025, -3.7% from 2025 to 2026, -3.7% from 2026 to 2027, and -3.8% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -3.7%.
Future trends to monitor include potential changes in demand for environmentally friendly packaging, regulatory impacts on recycling and waste management, and the effect of global trade dynamics on France's import patterns. Additionally, technological advancements in packaging alternatives could influence the demand for kraft paper, potentially moderating or accelerating these trends.
