In 2023, the import value of air brakes and parts thereof for railway rolling stock to France was recorded at approximately 42 million USD. The forecast from 2024 through 2028 indicates a gradual decline in import values, starting from 41.164 million USD in 2024 to 39.214 million USD in 2028. This represents a continual year-on-year decrease of around 1%, with a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) over these years reflecting a negative trend in import activities for this product category.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global supply chains, technological advancements in braking systems that could influence import volumes, and changes in policy or trade agreements that might impact France’s reliance on imported railway components. Additionally, environmental concerns and innovations in rail transport could alter demand dynamics significantly in the coming years.
