The forecast for re-import of polyethylene, having a specific gravity of 0.94 or more to France, shows a declining trend, starting from 2.486 million kilograms in 2024 and gradually decreasing to 2.329 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, actual re-imports stood higher, around 2.530 million kilograms, indicating a continuous annual downward trend, averaging a small decrement in the range of 1.6% to 1.9% annually. This emphasizes a soft reduction in demand or changes in import strategies over the years from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Global supply chain adjustments that could affect import volumes.
- Trends in domestic production efficiency which may reduce reliance on imports.
- Environmental regulations influencing polyethylene demand and market dynamics.
