In 2023, the import of non-coniferous wood continuously shaped along any edges to France stood at an estimated volume of 96.5 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in volume, from 96.282 million kilograms in 2024 to 95.364 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year reduction of approximately 0.25% each year over the forecasted period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this 5-year period is anticipated to reflect a decrease, suggesting a steady decline in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities, changes in trade policies, and evolving demand for sustainable building materials, which could impact both the volume and value of wood imports in France. Additionally, advancements in technology might either stimulate new demand or create substitutes affecting the wood industry.
