The import of prepared meals and dishes to France is expected to grow steadily from 127.85 million kilograms in 2024 to 131.04 million kilograms by 2028. Based on these forecasts, the imports are set to increase at an average annual rate, with slight year-on-year growth of around 0.63% from 2025 onward. In 2023, the import volume was 126.7 million kilograms, indicating a continuation of modest growth.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of consumer preferences shifting towards convenience and healthier meal options, influencing import demand.
- Changes in trade policies or tariffs, crucial for potential cost implications on imports.
- The role of technology and innovation in food processing and logistics, which could affect the supply chain efficiency for imports.
