The forecast for the re-import of epoxides, epoxy-alcohols,-phenols,-ethers to France indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. With a starting projection of 1,430 thousand kilograms in 2024, it's expected to decrease to 1,130 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents an average decline of approximately 5% per year (CAGR). Compared to 2023, where the re-import stood at a slightly higher level, the year-on-year decline between 2024 and 2025 is about 5.6%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increasing domestic production capabilities in France, potentially diminishing reliance on re-imports.
- Innovations or disruptions within chemical industries that could affect demand.
- Emerging alternative materials that may replace epoxides in certain applications, thus impacting future trends.
