In 2023, the import of margarine to France stood at 73 million kilograms. Starting from 2024, the forecast indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease, with imports reducing progressively to reach 64.191 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a continuous decline in the import volumes over the forecast period. Year-on-year variations demonstrate a persistent downtrend, averaging a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier substitutes, regulatory changes impacting trade, and the influence of the domestic production of alternatives. Market dynamics, such as price volatility and economic conditions, could further affect import volumes.
