In 2023, France's imports of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) amounted to a consistent volume which aligned with historical data before a predicted decline. Forecasted data from 2024 onward indicates a significant downward trend, with steep year-on-year decreases in import volumes. Specifically, imports are expected to drop from 4.6696 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.2793 million kilograms in 2028. This results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that reflects an average yearly decline over the last five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in manufacturing preferences affecting PMMA demand.
- Emergence of alternative materials impacting PMMA market share.
- Economic factors that might stabilize or reverse the declining import trend.
