The import of not carded or combed staple fibers of nylon or other polyamides to France is expected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual import volume was higher than the forecasted data for 2024. Specifically, a year-on-year analysis from 2024 shows a decrease in import volumes by approximately 5.6% in 2025, 5.8% in 2026, 6.1% in 2027, and 6.3% in 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent average decline in import volume.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in France’s domestic production capabilities, which could further impact import needs.
The evolution of synthetic fiber alternatives that might influence demand for nylon and polyamides.
Trade agreements or barriers that could alter the import dynamics for France in the European context.
