In 2023, Germany imported approximately 76,000 cubic meters of tropical non-coniferous sawnwood. Analyzing the forecast from 2024 to 2028, imports are projected to decline annually by around 5-6%. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, underscoring the consistent downward trend in volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of sustainable forestry policies and increasing environmental regulations.
- Potential shifts in demand for tropical sawnwood due to changes in consumer preferences or construction materials.
- Global market influences, such as trade agreements and competition from alternative materials, which could affect import volumes.
