In 2023, the import of chloromethane and chloroethane to France stood at an undisclosed base figure. Projections for the upcoming five years indicate a steady increase in import volume. Year-on-year, the volume is expected to rise by approximately 3.2% in 2024, followed by similar growth rates annually: 3.2% in 2025, 3.1% in 2026, reaching around 3.0% by 2027, and 2.8% by 2028. The compound annual growth rate over this period is estimated to be 3.1%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes regarding chemical imports, shifts in industrial demand, and innovations in domestic chemical production that might affect import levels.
