In 2023, France's wood pulp imports stood at 1.68 million metric tons. Forecasted data indicates a gradual decline in imports from 1.67 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.64 million metric tons in 2028. Projected year-on-year variations suggest a fairly stable trend with minimal decreases in volume, averaging a decrease of approximately 0.15% annually over the five-year span (CAGR).

Future trends to watch include:

Potential impacts of global supply chain disruptions on import volumes.
Influence of sustainability initiatives and demand for recycled materials on wood pulp demand.
Economic factors, such as exchange rate fluctuations and trade policies, affecting import costs.
