The forecast for the sold production of bleached paper and paperboard in Germany shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 143.36 million kilograms in 2024, it is expected to rise annually, reaching 152.6 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate reflects a consistent upward trend averaging around 1.5% per annum. As we transition into this forecast period, it is important to consider that in 2023, the production was recorded at a slightly lower level, indicative of a moderate but consistent growth trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of sustainability initiatives on production methods and materials, potential shifts in consumer demand driven by digital transformation, and global economic factors influencing export and domestic consumption dynamics. Continuous improvements in paper recycling technologies could also play a pivotal role in shaping production and demand patterns.
