In 2023, the import value of glasses for corrective spectacles to France stood at a significant point, as the upcoming years, starting from 2024, demonstrate a descending trend in forecasted import values. A year-on-year comparison shows a significant decrease in imports: a 22.92% decline from 2024 to 2025, followed by an even steeper 29.13% drop into 2026. From there, the downward trajectory continues with a 40.33% reduction in 2027, and culminating in a pronounced 66.18% decrease in 2028.

Moving forward, key trends to observe include:
- The potential impact of domestic production on reducing the need for imports.
- Technological advancements in eye-care that may affect demand for traditional corrective spectacles.
- Policy changes impacting local market conditions for eyewear imports.
