In 2023, the re-import of salt including solution and salt water to France stood at a lower baseline compared to the forecasted data from 2024 onwards. From 2024 to 2028, a steady year-on-year growth is anticipated, increasing from 4.5192 million kilograms in 2024 to 4.7969 million kilograms in 2028. This represents consistent annual growth, indicating a robust recovery or expansion in the re-import market for this commodity.
- Between 2024 and 2025, the re-import volume is expected to increase by approximately 1.58% year-on-year.
- The growth rate from 2025 to 2026 reflects a similar trend, with a projected increase of 1.53%.
- For the period from 2026 to 2027, the volume is anticipated to rise by 1.48%.
- A further increase of 1.42% is forecasted from 2027 to 2028, maintaining the overall growth trajectory.
Over the five-year forecast period, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a moderately paced expansion in the re-import market for salt. Looking ahead, trends to watch include global supply chain adjustments, environmental policies affecting production and transport, and shifts in consumption patterns driven by culinary and industrial applications. These factors could either accelerate or dampen the re-import growth of sodium chloride to France.
