In 2023, France's import of monoethanolamine stood at 10.811 million kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 suggest a gradual decline in import volume, with an average annual contraction of around 0.74%. The noted year-on-year decreases demonstrate a consistent trend of reduction, with a projected volume of 10.301 million kilograms by 2028, indicating a steady decrease over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in domestic production capacities which might offset import needs.
- The impact of European regulatory changes targeting chemical use which may influence import volumes.
- Shifts in demand from key industries such as personal care and agriculture which use monoethanolamine extensively.
