The imports of Sorbitol except D-Glucitol to France show a decreasing trend from 2024 onwards. In 2023, the import stood at a higher level compared to the forecasted decline to 1.1059 million kilograms in 2024, followed by consistent reductions through 2028, where it is projected to reach 0.66179 million kilograms. The year-on-year variations suggest a steady shrinkage in import volumes, indicating a diminishing demand or possible substitution by alternatives. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period reinforces this downward trajectory, showcasing a continuous contraction in import activity.
Future trends to observe include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards natural or alternative sweeteners, policy changes on sugar substitutes, and developments in sorbitol production technology. These factors could influence the imports of this ingredient to France.
