In 2023, France imported approximately 14.5 million kilograms of toluene. Starting from 2024, forecasted data indicates a steady decline in toluene imports. The year-on-year decrease in imports from 2023 to 2024 is around 9.3%. By 2028, imports are expected to decline by approximately 4.9% on average annually over the five-year period, highlighting a continuous downward trend. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects a reduction in toluene imports by about 10%, suggesting a more conservative approach towards toluene consumption in future planning.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts towards sustainable chemical alternatives, regulatory changes affecting chemical imports, or advancements in domestic production capacities that may further impact import volumes.
