The import of paper and paperboard to Germany is set to increase steadily from 2.32 billion kilograms in 2024 to 2.5975 billion kilograms in 2028. Compared to 2023, which had approximately 2.26 billion kilograms, these forecasts indicate an upward trajectory.
Year-on-year growth rates are relatively modest, showing an average increase of around 2.4% annually over this period. This reflects stable growth in the industry, attributed likely to the demand for printed and graphic paper products.
Future trends to watch include:
- Technological advancements in digital media and their impact on paper demand.
- Potential trade policies affecting imports.
- Environment-friendly policies influencing material sourcing and processes.
