By 2023, France imported nearly 183 million kilograms of milk and cream with a fat content exceeding 6%. The projected import volumes from 2024 to 2028 show a steady growth from 189.14 million kilograms to 213.21 million kilograms. The year-on-year growth rate indicates modest but consistent increments of around 3% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is approximately 3.1%.
Future trends to monitor involve changes in domestic production capabilities, fluctuations in global dairy market prices, and potential regulatory changes impacting dairy import tariffs and quotas. Additionally, consumer preference shifts toward alternative dairy products could influence future import dynamics.
