In 2023, the re-import of parts of lighters, excluding flints and wicks, to France was recorded at 2.34 thousand kilograms. From 2024 onward, a declining trend is observed in the forecasted data, with a consistent year-on-year decrease. The percentage reduction can be quantified as follows: from 2024 to 2025 (-15.8%), 2025 to 2026 (-18.2%), 2026 to 2027 (-22.3%), and from 2027 to 2028 (-27.8%). The compound annual growth rate over the five-year forecast period registers a substantial negative value, indicating a persistent decline.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global consumer patterns affecting demand for parts of lighters.
- Technological advancements leading to the emergence of new lighter types.
- Regulatory changes that might alter the import dynamics.
- Environmental considerations influencing the market for reusable versus disposable lighter parts.
