The forecast for France's malt production from 2024 to 2028 indicates a continuous, albeit slight, decrease in volume. From 2024 onwards, the production is expected to decline from 1.2197 billion kilograms to 1.185 billion kilograms by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year reduction, signaling a weakening trend over this period. When compared with the estimated value in 2023, which would be slightly higher considering the downward forecast, the trend points towards cautious production adjustments.
Key future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in malt production which could alter efficiency and yield.
- Changes in consumer preferences that might influence demand.
- Potential regulatory changes affecting production and distribution.
