The re-import of polyurethanes to France is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, with volumes rising from 1.606 million kilograms to 1.773 million kilograms. This forecasted growth indicates a consistent annual rise in re-import volumes, suggesting positive market dynamics and increasing domestic demand. Within this period, year-on-year variations show a progressive increase, reflecting an ongoing trend of expanding imports.
The re-import volume in 2023 was notably lower at approximately 1.565 million kilograms, marking a shift towards greater reliance on re-imports in the coming years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is indicative of a solid upward trajectory in import volumes, showcasing market confidence and demand stability.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes on import practices, shifts in global polyurethane supply chains, and technological advancements in production processes which may alter the competitive landscape and affect future import volumes. These factors could further accelerate or moderate the growth projections depending on global and regional market conditions.
