In 2023, the import volume of sulphonated hydrocarbons to France stood at an unspecified baseline figure. From 2024, forecasts predict a steady increase in imports, beginning with 76.664 million kilograms. The year-on-year growth rates are projected to be about 3.2% in 2025, 3.1% in 2026, 2.9% in 2027, and 2.8% in 2028. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averages approximately 3.0% annually. This consistent growth trajectory suggests a reinforced demand pattern.

Future trends to observe include:

Potential regulatory changes affecting production or environmental impacts of sulphonated hydrocarbons.
Technological advancements in alternative chemicals that could disrupt demand.
Global supply chain fluctuations and their effect on import levels.
