The forecasted import volumes of combs and hair-slides made from materials other than rubber or plastic to France indicate a gradual decline from 583.19 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 564.92 thousand kilograms in 2028. This suggests a consistent year-on-year decrease with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a negative trend over the five years. In comparison, 2023 would have needed to be assessed for an accurate baseline of growth or decline, but the trajectory is clearly downward.

Future trends to watch include:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative materials or styles that could influence import volumes.
Potential regulatory changes impacting the import of specific materials or product types.
Economic factors such as currency fluctuations which could affect import costs and volumes.
Potential market shifts due to competition from domestic producers or changes in international trade agreements.
