The import of untreated or unpainted coniferous wood logs and poles to France is projected to demonstrate a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 550.08 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 523.44 million kilograms by 2028. This forecast showcases an average decrease of approximately 1% annually over the five-year period. As of 2023, the volume stood slightly higher, marking the start of this gradual downtrend.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential shifts in demand for raw materials, influenced by changes in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
Sustainability and environmental policies that might alter import dynamics.
Fluctuations in global trade agreements affecting the cost and availability of timber imports.
