In 2023, the import of textile fabric impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with polyurethane to France stood at 4.104 million kilograms. The forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a slightly declining trend, with annual imports expected to decrease from 4.0815 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.9928 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease, with an overall average annual decline in volume (CAGR) projected over the five-year period. Notable is the consistent annual decline, although minimal, indicating a gradual reduction in volume imported to France.
Future trends to monitor include advancements in sustainable textile technologies and potential policy changes in France or the EU that could influence market dynamics. Shifts towards eco-friendly alternatives may impact the volume and sourcing channels in future trade activities.
