The import forecast for multi-ply paper and paperboard coated, with each layer bleached, to the UK shows a steady upward trend. From 2023, where imports were at a recorded base, imports are expected to rise annually to reach 151.31 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth is modest, with incremental increases noted every year. Despite the variations over the short term, the past data and the forecast indicate a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) pointing to a consistent upward trajectory, reflecting a growing demand or need for these products in the UK market.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of environmental regulations on the import of bleached paper products, changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable alternatives, and shifts in trade policies post-Brexit that could affect trading relationships and import dynamics.
