The forecast for the import of lumber of oak to France shows a consistent decline from 28.31 thousand cubic meters in 2024 to 12.38 thousand cubic meters by 2028. The data indicates a year-on-year decrease of 14.5% between 2024 and 2025, followed by further reductions in subsequent years. This reflects a clear downward trajectory, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -18.9% over this five-year period. In 2023, the imports stood higher, indicating a significant shift in the import dynamics.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in domestic production capacities that might impact imports, evolving trade policies affecting lumber trade, and the influence of sustainability practices reshaping demands. Additionally, fluctuations in global market conditions for timber and broader economic factors could further influence these trends.
