The import of prepared or preserved apricots to France is forecasted to decrease from 28.19 million kilograms in 2024 to 26.3 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend with an average annual decline of 1.75%. In 2023, the volume stood at around this same value, suggesting stability before the decline. Over the last two years, this decline can be partly attributed to changes in consumer preferences and rising competition from local products or other fruit imports. The five-year CAGR reflects a sector experiencing moderate contraction.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer dietary preferences and any policy changes affecting import regulations. Additionally, global apricot production and seasonality factors could influence import volumes.
