In 2023, France imported 16.7 million kilograms of beet-pulp, bagasse, and other sugar manufacturing waste, marking the basis for subsequent forecasts. The projected data indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028: starting at 15.853 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 12.34 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decreases highlight a notable contraction in imports, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -5.93% over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in domestic sugar production and waste recycling rates, influencing import demand.
- International trade policy changes impacting import costs or supply chains.
- Technological advancements in the sugar processing industry that could alter the volume of waste produced.
