The import of not carded or combed artificial staple fibres, excluding rayon to France is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume was at 400.91 thousand kilograms, witnessing a year-on-year decline leading into 2024. The forecasted trend indicates a continuous annual decrease, resulting in a compound average growth rate (CAGR) that illustrates a negative growth trajectory. The most significant decline is expected between 2027 and 2028, matching a broader trend of reduction in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in production processes within France that may further reduce reliance on imports.
Technological advancements that might influence the competitiveness and demand for artificial fibres.
Global market dynamics that could affect pricing and supply chain robustness influencing import volumes.
