The import of sports footwear with soles and uppers of rubber or plastics to France is projected to experience a slight decrease in the coming years. Starting at 3.1371 million kilograms in 2024, the forecasted import volume shows a year-on-year decline, reaching 3.0352 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), indicating a modest downward trend over the five-year period. In 2023, the volume stood slightly higher than the 2024 forecast, reinforcing the gradual descending trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased focus on sustainable and eco-friendly materials could impact production and demand dynamics.
Potential tariff changes or trade agreements may affect import volumes.
Consumer preferences shifting towards local brands or diversified sportswear may influence import demand.
Innovation in lightweight materials could alter market demand for traditional rubber and plastic composites.
