In 2023, the import of starches, excluding wheat, maize, potato, and manioc, to France stood at 5 million kilograms. Forecast data indicates a positive growth trend from 2024 to 2028, with imports increasing from 5.41 million kilograms in 2024 to 6.07 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year growth rate, averaging around 3% annually over these years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of changing dietary trends in France, which might increase the demand for alternative starches.
- Potential shifts in trade policies within the EU affecting import logistics and costs.
- Fluctuations in the agricultural output of other regions that supply these starches could influence import volumes.
