In 2023, France imported approximately 5.7 million kilograms of salted, dried, or smoked bovine meat. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent increase in import volume, starting at 5.8973 million kilograms in 2024 and growing to 6.6984 million kilograms by 2028.

Key trends to watch for in the future include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and traceable meat products could influence import sources.
Trade agreements and international relations may impact the cost and availability of imported bovine meat.
Evolving food safety regulations and health trends could affect demand for processed meat products.
Fluctuations in global meat prices and supply chain dynamics could alter import volumes and patterns.
