The forecast for UK imports of non-coniferous veneer sheets shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 17.25 thousand cubic meters in 2024 and decreasing to 16.56 thousand cubic meters by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of around 1% to 1.1%, indicating a modest but consistent reduction over this period. Compared to 2023, where the volume of imports was higher, these forecasts predict a continued downward trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential changes in global supply chains that could impact import volumes.
- Environmental policies influencing the use of non-coniferous materials.
- Market demand fluctuations driven by construction and furniture industries.
