The forecast for re-imports of non-wired float glass in sheets to France shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, commencing at 10.283 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 8.5798 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year drop of around 4% each year, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a consistent downward trend of approximately 4.5%. As of 2023, the actual re-import volume stood notably higher, marking a significant downturn expected in the forthcoming years.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from technological advancements in glass manufacturing, fluctuating construction demands, and France's evolving import policies. Watch for shifts in global trade relations that could affect material costs and availability, influencing re-import volumes and strategies.
