This decline represents a consistent reduction of between 0.38% and 0.37% year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average decrease of approximately 0.37% annually over the five-year period. In comparison, data for 2023 place the imports at a higher figure than subsequent forecasts, cementing the downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in sustainable packaging laws, which could influence import volumes.
