Between 2024 and 2028, the UK’s imports of untreated or unpainted coniferous wood logs and poles are forecasted to decline steadily from $38.376 million to $36.319 million. Comparatively, this reflects an average yearly drop, highlighting potential decreases in demand or shifts in sourcing strategies. The year-on-year contraction implies ongoing challenges in the forestry sector or broader economic influences affecting import levels.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of sustainability and environmental policies on wood imports.
- Fluctuations in construction and housing markets influencing wood demand.
- Changes in UK trade policies and import tariffs impacting supplier dynamics.
