In 2023, the import volume of non-coniferous wood in chips or particles to Germany stood at approximately 212 million kilograms. Forecasts suggest a steady increase in imports with the volume reaching 218.34 million kilograms in 2024, and continuing to rise to 238.05 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a consistent upward trend in the demand for non-coniferous wood chips.
Year-on-year analysis reveals an average growth rate of around 2-3% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028. This expected increase reflects Germany's ongoing demand for these wood products, possibly driven by developments in the renewable energy and materials sector.
Future trends to observe include policy changes in sustainability, global economic conditions affecting supply, and advancements in wood processing technologies, which may further influence import volumes. Additionally, monitoring competitive materials and their impact on market dynamics will be crucial.
