In 2023, France imported a certain volume of iron or steel flat spiral springs, setting a baseline for future forecasts. The data for 2024 through 2028 indicates a steady decline in the imports of these springs by absolute volume, from 244.27 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 191.73 thousand kilograms in 2028. The annual rate of decrease reflects a consistent drop year-over-year in percentage terms. This decline suggests decreasing demand or increased domestic production in France, impacting imports.

Looking ahead, the following trends are worth monitoring:

Domestic production trends, which might compensate for falling imports.
Changes in French industrial activity sectors that use these components, such as automotive and machinery manufacturing.
Potential trade policy changes or tariff adjustments that might impact import levels.
Technological advancements that could reduce the demand for certain types of springs.
