The import of non-numerically controlled machine tools for bending, folding, shearing, or pressing metal to France is projected to decline over the coming years, with forecasts indicating a consistent decrease from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, imports stood at higher levels, but the projected year-on-year decline reflects a decreasing trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period also indicates a negative trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from technological advancements that may favor numerically controlled alternatives, changes in industrial demand, policies affecting import tariffs, and competition from domestic manufacturers. Global economic conditions could also further influence these forecasts.
