The forecast for sulphate wood pulp imports to Germany indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The imported volume is expected to decrease steadily from 3.21 million metric tons in 2024 to 2.6 million metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, this forecast suggests a consistent reduction in import levels over the four-year period.
The year-on-year analyses show a decline of about 5% per year on average, emphasizing a significant drop in import demands. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period from 2024 to 2028 consistently points to negative growth, further solidifying the downward projection.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in domestic production capabilities, shifts in demand due to economic or environmental policies, and global supply chain adjustments that could influence import levels.
