In 2023, France imported 227.0 million kilograms of cartons, boxes, and cases of corrugated paper or paperboard. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady decline in imports with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.9%. Year-on-year, there's an average decrease of 2.4% observed over the last two years, reflecting a consistent downward trend in import volumes.

Future trends to monitor include:
