The forecast for the import of shaped and processed flat glass to France shows a consecutive decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 111.04 million kilograms in 2024 to 104.75 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to the 2023 import level, this forecasted decline suggests a consistent downward trend with an overall decrease in volume.
Year-on-year percentage changes indicate a steady tapering of approximately 1.5% per annum, reflecting a gradual reduction in import quantities. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period of five years underscores an average annual decline, aligning with the decreasing import figures.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in the global flat glass market, such as supply chain adjustments, changes in France's domestic production capabilities, evolving demand in construction and automotive sectors, and geopolitical influences that may impact trade flows and material sourcing strategies.
