Based on the forecasted data, the import of polishes and creams for footwear or leather to France shows a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028, with volumes dropping from 1.1601 million kilograms in 2024 to 0.95014 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a notable negative trend in import volumes. Prior to 2024, actual import volumes in 2023 were recorded at higher levels, indicating a sustained pattern of decreasing demand or changes in sourcing strategies. The year-on-year variation demonstrates a decreasing percentage across the forecast period with a gradual average annual contraction suggested by the negative CAGR.
Looking ahead, several future trends might impact this sector. Key factors to watch include the emergence of synthetic and eco-friendly alternatives that could further reduce demand, potential changes in consumer preferences towards different materials, and any regulatory shifts impacting import tariffs or trade agreements related to leather products.
