The forecast for the import of wooden windows, French-windows, and their frames into Croatia shows a declining trend from 2024 onwards. In 2023, the import volume stood significantly higher, but by 2028, it's projected to drop to 172.55 thousand kilograms. The year-on-year variations demonstrate this reduction, with noticeable percentage decreases each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years points to a steady downward trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in domestic production capability, reducing dependence on imports.
- Changes in consumer preferences toward alternative materials like aluminum or PVC.
- Impact of environmental regulations and sustainability drives influencing wood imports.
- Economic conditions affecting construction and renovation projects.
