The import of 1,2-Dichloroethane to France is projected to display a steady decline from 2024 through 2028, starting at 19.043 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 14.184 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -7.1% over this period. When compared year-on-year, the decline averages around -7%, indicating a consistent downward trend.
In 2023, the import volume stood at approximately 20 million kilograms, highlighting the initiation of the downward trend anticipated to continue across the subsequent years. Several factors might be driving this trend, including shifts in domestic production capabilities, changes in regulatory environments, or evolving industrial demands.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in Eurozone economic conditions affecting import needs.
- Advancements in more sustainable chemical processes within France, possibly reducing dependence on 1,2-Dichloroethane imports.
- Regulatory shifts either within France or from the EU that impact chemical importation practices.
