The forecasted import volumes of medium and high-density fibreboard to Germany show a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with volumes rising from 575.64 to 595.49 thousand cubic meters. Assuming values stood at 570 thousand cubic meters in 2023, this implies a consistent upward trend with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years of approximately 0.86%. Year-on-year growth is marginal, yet indicative of stable demand growth in Germany's industry sectors requiring fibreboard.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of environmental regulations on fibreboard imports and production.
- Technological advancements in alternative materials that might affect demand.
- Global supply chain shifts influencing costs and supply consistency.
