The import value of sulphate chemical wood pulp to the UK is forecasted to slightly decrease from $682.09 million in 2024 to $679.4 million by 2028. This shows a modest downward trend with a year-on-year variation of approximately -0.1% during this period. The consistent decline suggests a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -0.1% over the five-year forecast.
