The import of lumber of coniferous wood to France is projected to see a steady but marginal decline from 2024 to 2028, maintaining values slightly above 744 million USD annually. In 2023, the value of these imports was at approximately 745 million USD. Forecasted values display a slight year-on-year percentage decrease of around 0.02% each year over this period.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects the consistent, albeit minor, yearly reduction over the forecasted period, suggesting a generally stable yet contracting market concerning softwood imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations due to changes in global demand for sustainable building materials, economic shifts within the European Union, and the impact of technological advancements in the production and utilization of lumber that could influence import volumes and values in France.
