In 2023, the import of fresh or chilled bovine carcasses and half carcasses to France stood at approximately 26 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline in import volumes, with a projected decrease from 25.115 million kilograms in 2024 to 21.168 million kilograms by 2028. This represents an average annual contraction, or CAGR, of roughly -4% over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Fluctuations in domestic demand for beef, potentially influencing import needs.
Changes in trade agreements or policies impacting import tariffs and quotas.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins, affecting overall beef demand.
