The import of fresh or chilled garlic to France is projected to maintain a slow and steady decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 26.38 million kilograms in 2024, the forecast shows a consistent decrease, reaching 26.352 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a tiny year-on-year decline. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period highlights minimal regression in volume.
In 2023, the actual import volume stood slightly above the 2024 forecast level, emphasizing the anticipated contraction trend. The minor yearly variations suggest market stability with no abrupt changes expected in the immediate future.
Key future trends to watch for include changes in domestic garlic production, shifts in import regulations due to trade policies, and potential consumer preference changes toward locally sourced products. Monitoring these factors can provide insights for adjusting forecasts and strategies accordingly.
