In 2023, the import of frozen sheep carcasses and half carcasses to France was substantial, although exact figures from that year are not provided. From 2024 onwards, a decline is noticeable, with estimated imports decreasing progressively from 68.43 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 43.81 thousand kilograms in 2028. This represents an approximate average annual decrease of about 8.3% over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative meats or plant-based diets which may impact demand.
Changes in import regulations and tariffs post-2024 that could affect import costs and volumes.
Economic factors influencing purchasing power and demand for imported meat.
