From 2018 to 2022, the import of mechanical pulps of other fibrous material to France showed a significant decline. Quantities reduced from 611.42 thousand kilograms to 111.28 thousand kilograms, illustrating a consistent downward trend. The year-on-year percentage change reflects an average annual decrease of 32.37% over the period.
Observing recent patterns, a continued decline in imports was noted by 2023, solidifying the trend toward reduced dependency or consumption of these materials. Contributing factors could include shifts in production methods, increased recycling practices, or changes in domestic production and utilization.
Future Trends to Watch:
- Technological advancements in material science reducing reliance on traditional pulps.
- Policy shifts promoting sustainability and reduced imports.
- Economic factors influencing market demand and production costs.
