The import of raw beet sugar to France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028, showing an overall decreasing trend. The year-on-year changes exhibit a consistent reduction in import volumes: a 3.68% decrease from 2024 to 2025, a 3.75% decrease from 2025 to 2026, a 3.81% decrease from 2026 to 2027, and a 3.89% decrease from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years illustrates an average annual decline of approximately 3.78%.
Key future trends to watch include potential shifts in global sugar production due to climate change, trade policies affecting EU market access, and France's investments in domestic sugar production technologies, which could mitigate the decline in imports.
