The forecast for the re-import of composite paper and paperboard to Canada indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at $7.15K in 2024 and falling to $6.39K by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the re-imports stood at a higher value, this represents a negative trend. Year-on-year percentage variations reveal a consistent decrease of approximately -2.7% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is approximately -2.8%, indicating a downward trajectory in re-imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global supply chain adjustments, shifts in Canada's paper usage priorities towards sustainability, and emerging technologies reducing the need for traditional paper and paperboard products. These factors could accelerate the decline or stabilize demand depending on industry adaptation and policy changes.
