In 2023, the re-import volume of folding cartons, boxes, and cases, of non-corrugated paper or paperboard to the UK was unavailable, but projections indicate a steady upward trend from 2024 onwards. The forecasted growth shows year-on-year increases of approximately 2.2% to 2.3% through 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is anticipated to be around 1.6%, reflecting a modest yet consistent rise in volume.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of environmental policies on packaging materials, advancements in recycling technologies, and shifting demand patterns driven by changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable packaging solutions.
