The import of coniferous wood veneer sheets and sheets for plywood sawn, sliced, or peeled to the UK, forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 786.25 thousand cubic meters in 2024, it is expected to reach 862.36 thousand cubic meters by 2028. This represents year-on-year growth averaging around 2.6% per annum. Compared to earlier trends up to 2023, this implies a more stable increase in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Global trade regulations and their impact on wood imports.
- The UK's economic performance affecting construction and demand for plywood.
- Environmental policies influencing the sourcing and consumption of wood products.
