In 2023, the import volume of meals, flour, and pellets of seafood for animal feed in France was documented at an unspecified figure, setting the baseline for a gradual decline in the upcoming years. From 2024 to 2028, a downward trajectory is forecasted, with the import volume decreasing annually from 20.737 million kilograms in 2024 to 16.17 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year reduction, marking a decrease of approximately 17% over the five-year forecast period, indicating a noticeable shift in import reliance or domestic demand.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in France's reliance on alternative sources for animal feed, possibly driven by sustainability goals, domestic production adjustments, or changes in market demand. Additionally, any policy changes within the EU that impact tariffs, regulation, or trade agreements could also influence the trend of imports in this sector.
