In 2023, France imported 25.89 million kilograms of artificial filament tow and staple fibres of viscose rayon. Forecasts for 2024 indicate slight growth, with a projected import volume of 25.948 million kilograms. This gradual increase continues through 2028, where imports are expected to reach 26.18 million kilograms. The year-on-year growth remains minimal, averaging around 0.2% over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is estimated to be approximately 0.2%, suggesting stable, albeit slow growth in imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Developments in sustainable and eco-friendly textile production could influence demand and import volumes.
Changes in EU trade policies and tariffs may impact import levels and sourcing strategies.
Technological advancements in viscose rayon manufacturing could alter cost dynamics and import patterns.
