In 2023, the import of furniture made of cane, osier, bamboo, or similar materials to France stood as the baseline for forecasting future trends. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in import volume, decreasing from 21.896 million kilograms in 2024 to 20.98 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1% to 1.2%. Looking at the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), the average variation over these five years suggests an annual decrease, indicating a shrinking market for these types of furniture imports in France.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials which might impact imports adversely. Additionally, increasing domestic production could further reduce the need for imports. Efforts to innovate in design or materials could also reverse these downward trends, making this a sector to monitor closely for changes that might influence demand.
