In 2023, the import of watch cases of base metal, including gold or silver-plated, to France stood higher than the forecasted figures beginning in 2024. Starting at 9.8792 million USD in 2024, the import value is expected to decline steadily to 9.7149 million USD by 2028. This trend indicates a modest annual decrease but a consistent downward trajectory overall.

Future trends to watch for include:

Evolving consumer preferences towards smartwatches, potentially affecting traditional watch case imports.
Potential impact of regulatory changes on trade and import taxes.
Exchange rate fluctuations and their effect on the cost and demand for imports.
