In 2023, France imported 51.48 million kilograms of fresh or chilled bone-in swine hams, shoulders, and cuts. Forecasts show a declining trend in import volumes from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 50.002 million kilograms to 44.064 million kilograms. The year-on-year decline ranges approximately between 3% to 4% for each following year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects a steady annual decrease of about 3.07%.
Future trends to watch for include changing consumer preferences towards alternative proteins and potential policy impacts from both domestic and EU regulations on pork imports. Additionally, fluctuations in global pork supply chains due to health or geopolitical issues may also influence these import numbers.
