The re-import of worked vegetable and mineral carving material to France stood at 2.43 thousand kilograms in 2024. This forecast predicts a steady growth annually with volumes increasing gradually to 2.55 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year increase represents a constant but modest growth rate around 1.23% from 2024 onwards. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is consistent with this slight upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential disruptions in supply chains that could affect import volumes.
- Evolution in consumer demand for crafts and artistic products impacting the demand for carving materials.
- Environmental policies that might influence sourcing practices and re-import dynamics.
