In 2023, the import volume of Phthalic Anhydride, Terephthalic Acid, and its salts to France was 71.4 million kilograms. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a consistent decline, with a year-on-year decrease ranging between 1.6% to 2.3%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years is anticipated to be negative, indicating an average annual decrease of around 2.1% in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations on demand, potential shifts towards alternative materials, and changes in global production dynamics which could influence import levels. The transition to a circular economy might further reduce import needs as domestic recycling capabilities improve.
