Forecast: Import of Chocolate Blocks, Slabs or Bars without Added Cereal, Fruit or Nuts to France

The import of chocolate blocks, slabs, or bars without added cereal, fruit, or nuts into France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028. This follows a decrease trend, signaling reduced demand or a potential increase in domestic production. In 2023, the actual import value was higher, showing a clear year-on-year downward trend.

• Changes in consumer preferences towards locally sourced or different types of chocolate.

• Impact of trade policies or tariffs that might affect import costs.

• Innovations or shifts in chocolate product offerings that might alter import demand.
