The forecast for coniferous sawnwood imports to France shows a gradual declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing from 2.36 million cubic meters in 2024 to 2.26 million cubic meters by 2028. Comparing to 2023, where imports stood at 2.40 million cubic meters, this represents a year-on-year reduction ranging from approximately 0.85% to 1.29% annually. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) demonstrates a steady decline in volume, reflecting a diminishing demand or potential supply constraints in the market.
Future trends to monitor include shifts in construction demand, sustainability initiatives affecting wood usage, and potential trade policy changes or forest management practices within the European Union that could influence import levels.
