The forecast for the re-import of bleached and clay-coated kraft paper and paperboard over 150 g/m2 into Canada remains relatively stable from 2024 through 2028, with minor decreases in volume noted. The projected figures show a slight downward trend, moving from 30.67 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 30.65 thousand kilograms by 2028. In 2023, re-import volume stood unchanged from the 2024 starting point, highlighting stability preceding this forecast period. This marginal decline over the years translates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that approaches zero, signaling minimal year-on-year change.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in paper production potentially impacting re-import volumes.
- Policy changes around sustainability influencing demand for such paper types.
- Global trade dynamics such as tariffs or trade agreements affecting import activities.
