The forecast for imports of bleached non-coniferous chemical wood pulp of soda or sulphate to the UK shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the import volume is projected at 493.66 million kilograms, with a gradual decrease each subsequent year, reaching 438.63 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a downward trend in import volumes with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting an average decline over the analyzed period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in demand for sustainable and recycled materials that could further impact pulp imports.
Shifts in UK manufacturing or consumer packaging preferences affecting wood pulp consumption.
Geopolitical and trade policy changes that may influence supply chain and import dynamics.
