In 2023, France imported 2.8 million kilograms of frozen boneless sheep cuts. The forecast from 2024 suggests a declining trend, starting at 2.596 million kilograms in 2024 and dropping steadily to 1.203 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year, this represents decreases of 13.82% for 2025, 15.71% for 2026, 18.27% for 2027, and 21.92% for 2028. The compound annual growth rate over these years is approximately -17.91%, indicating a substantial and consistent decrease in volume.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards fresher or more sustainable meat options.
Changes in trade policies or tariffs affecting import dynamics.
Market innovations or alternatives that might influence demand for imported frozen products.
