In 2023, France imported approximately 335.0 million units of aluminium casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers of less than 300 L capacity. The forecasted import volumes indicate a steady upward trend from 343.4 million units in 2024 to 379.97 million units in 2028. Year-on-year growth rates are anticipated to be stable, averaging around 2.7% annually, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.6% over this five-year period.
Looking ahead, several future trends could impact these forecasts, including shifts in packaging preferences due to environmental concerns, fluctuations in global aluminium prices, and changes in EU trade policies affecting importation costs and regulations. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for predicting long-term market behavior.
