The forecast for wood pulp imports to Germany indicates a gradual increase over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, starting at 4.47 million metric tons in 2024 and reaching 4.55 million metric tons by 2028. This represents a modest year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.45% to 0.50%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecasted five-year period stands at around 0.45%. In 2023, actual wood pulp imports were slightly lower than 4.47 million metric tons, indicating a steady growth trajectory in the coming years.
