In 2023, the import volume of paper and paperboard, coated, impregnated, or covered with wax, paraffin wax, stearin, oil, or glycerol to France stood at 13.5 million kilograms. The forecasted data for 2024 suggests a steady increase, with an expected growth to 13.871 million kilograms, continuing this upward trend through to 2028, with volumes reaching 15.602 million kilograms. Year-on-year, this represents a consistent increase, with percentage growth appearing to be modest but stable. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 suggests a gradual, reliable increase in imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in global trade policies affecting import levels.
Innovation and demand for eco-friendly paper products that could impact imports.
The influence of digitalization reducing paper product consumption, offset by packages requiring specific types of coated paper.
