The import of plywood sheets at most 6 mm thick with at least one outer ply of tropical wood to Germany is expected to see a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028. The value in 2023 stood at 143.3 thousand cubic meters. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast data suggests modest year-on-year growth, averaging around 0.9% annually.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential fluctuations in demand due to changes in the construction industry and environmental regulations in Germany.
Impact of sustainability trends and source certification on import levels of tropical wood.
Evolution of trade agreements and tariffs that could affect the cost and flow of imports from tropical regions.
