The import of waste and scrap of paper and paperboard to France is projected to see steady growth from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing each year: starting at 167.99 million USD in 2024 and reaching 172.59 million USD by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period starting from 2023. The year-on-year growth rate demonstrates consistent increases in import values, ranging around 0.8% to 0.9% annually.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of regulatory changes in France or the EU towards sustainable waste management, which may influence import volumes.
Advancements in recycling technologies potentially impacting the demand and supply dynamics of waste and scrap imports.
Evolving global trade policies that could affect logistical and economic factors surrounding waste importations.
