Forecasted fibres imports to France are expected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Fibre imports are projected to decrease from 66.39 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 50.94 thousand metric tons in 2028. This marks an average annual decrease of approximately 6.1% over the five-year period.
Considering the previous actual data from 2023, the total fibre imports stood at a higher volume. The year-on-year variations indicate a decreasing trend, with a consistent decline in imports:
- 2024 to 2025: -5.9%
- 2025 to 2026: -6.2%
- 2026 to 2027: -6.6%
- 2027 to 2028: -7.0%
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global trade policies, advancing sustainability practices, and innovations in alternative materials, which could further influence import volumes. Keeping an eye on economic fluctuations and supply chain developments will also be crucial.
