In 2023, Brazil's import of unbleached kraft paper and paperboard weighing 150-225 g/m² stood at 11.3 million kilograms. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a decreasing trend. The import volume is predicted to fall from 10.961 million kilograms in 2024 to 9.6816 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 3% to 3.4% annually over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 showcases a consistent negative growth, indicating an ongoing downward trend in imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Global shifts in demand and supply dynamics impacting raw material availability.
Brazil's domestic production capacities increasing, potentially offsetting the need for imports.
Trade policies and tariff changes that could affect import costs and preferences.
