The import of wool grease and fatty substances to France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at 509.22 thousand kilograms. The year-on-year percentage decrease is apparent, with a notable drop each year: 11.46% from 2024 to 2025, 12.86% from 2025 to 2026, 14.60% from 2026 to 2027, and 16.92% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in international trade policies that could impact import quantities.
- Advancements in synthetic alternatives reducing demand for natural wool grease.
- Shifts in the textile and cosmetic industries, which are primary consumers of these substances.
