In 2023, the import volume of imides and their derivatives to France was higher compared to the forecasted figures for 2024 onwards. The forecast for 2024 indicates a slight decline in import volume to 1.0605 million kilograms, decreasing year-on-year steadily through 2028 at 0.96991 million kilograms. This reflects a diminishing trend, with an average annual decline rate (CAGR) projected over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of trade agreements or tariffs affecting the import of chemical derivatives.
- Market shifts towards sustainable and alternative inputs, potentially reducing demand for specific imides.
- Economic factors within France and supplier countries that could influence import levels.
