The forecast for the import of salted, dried, or smoked swine bellies to France indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, growing from 7.54 million kilograms to 7.94 million kilograms. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 1.38% to 1.26% annually. As of 2023, the baseline was at a similar volume. The average growth rate over this five-year period reflects a consistent rising trend in imports.
Future trends to watch include:
- The impact of global trade policies and tariffs as they could affect pricing and availability.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins, potentially moderating demand.
- Fluctuations in swine production globally which may influence supply chain strategies.
