Between 2024 and 2028, Germany is forecasted to see a steady decrease in sawnwood imports from 4.95 to 4.89 million cubic meters. This indicates a slight negative year-on-year variation, reflecting a small decline in import demand.

Despite this downward trend, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years shows minimal shrinkage, suggesting that while imports are declining, the rate of decrease is consistently small.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential shifts in domestic production affecting import dependency.
Global market conditions that may alter supply chains or trade agreements.
Evolving environmental regulations that could impact sawnwood demand and import patterns.
