In 2023, the re-import of waterproof footwear covering the ankle but not the knee to France was approximately 35 thousand kilograms. From 2024, forecasts predict a consistent year-on-year decline, with values dropping from 31.99 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 21.56 thousand kilograms in 2028. This reflects a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of -8.67% from 2024 to 2028, indicating a steady decrease in re-imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in consumer demand driven by shifts in fashion trends and preferences for sustainable or alternative materials.
Economic factors influencing import-export dynamics, such as tariffs or trade agreements.
Technological advancements in footwear materials impacting domestic production capabilities.
