In 2023, France imported approximately 8.112 million kilograms of wood wool and wood flour. From the 2024 forecast, a steady decrease in import volume is anticipated, decreasing by 0.75% each year, leading to a projected 7.872 million kilograms in 2028. Over the five years to 2028, the CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) would thus reflect a mild decline. These numbers suggest a consistent downward trend driven by shifts in domestic production, environmental considerations, or potential changes in industry demand.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in sustainable materials that may further curb imports, potential policy changes related to trading practices, and any shifts in demand from major wood-processing industries that could impact these figures.
