In 2023, the United Kingdom led cartonboard imports from non-EU countries, followed by Germany and the Netherlands. Notable year-on-year growth was observed in Norway (29.87%) and Sweden (20.8%), while France and Spain experienced declines. Belgium and Hungary showed double-digit growth. Over the last five years, countries like Norway, Sweden, and Lithuania depicted an upward trend in their Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). Conversely, France and Spain showed a downward tendency.
