In 2023, the import value of shotguns and shotgun-rifles for sport, hunting, or target in France was significantly above forecasted values, indicating a declining trend. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data shows a consistent decrease, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a steady contraction in import values.

The annual decrease suggests several underlying factors influencing demand, possibly shifts in regulatory policies, changing consumer interests, or advancements in alternative recreational activities.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of regulatory changes on import restrictions and domestic production dynamics.
Evolving consumer behavior towards alternative hunting or sports equipment.
Technological advancements influencing the appeal of traditional shotguns and rifles.
