The forecast for the import of polystyrene waste or scrap to France indicates a steady downward trend from 2024 to 2028. The forecasted import volume starts at 8.2297 million kilograms in 2024 and declines to 7.798 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year decrease of about 1.4% to 1.5% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period is negative, underlining a consistent decline in import volumes over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in environmental regulations promoting recycling and reducing plastic use could further diminish import needs.
- Advancements in recycling technologies may alter the demand for foreign polystyrene scrap.
- Market dynamics such as shifts in domestic production and consumption could influence future import levels.
