The forecast for the import of polystyrene in primary forms to France shows a consistent annual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 56.535 million kilograms in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 41.886 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a steady downward trend with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 6% to 8% during the forecasted period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decrease aligning with these percentages. In 2023, the import volume was recorded at approximately 60 million kilograms, marking a consistent decline over the years.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of environmental regulations on plastic imports, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable alternatives, and fluctuations in global polystyrene production and pricing, which could further influence import volumes.
