In 2023, Brazil's import of wood in the rough or roughly squared was significantly higher than forecasted values for the subsequent years. From 2024 to 2028, projections indicate a declining trend, with imports expected to drop progressively each year.
- The forecast shows a year-on-year decrease of approximately 9.62% from 2024 to 2025 and similar trends continue with consistent reductions in following years.
- By 2028, imports might decline by a substantial cumulative drop from the 2024 levels, reflecting a challenging outlook for this sector.
- The five-year CAGR highlights a negative growth pattern, reinforcing the forecasted downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch will include global economic conditions, Brazilian domestic production capabilities, and any shifts in trade policies that may impact wood imports. The construction industry's demand or possible regulatory changes favoring sustainable forestry might alter these projections.
