The import of sugar-containing chewing gum to France is on a downward trend. In 2023, imports stood at 1.20 million kilograms. Forecasts for the period from 2024 to 2028 predict a steady annual decline from 1.081 to 0.51114 million kilograms, showcasing a significant decrease over five years. The annual year-on-year percentage decrease is approximately 13.6% from 2024 to 2025, and around 15.5% from 2025 to 2026. Over the entire period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates an average annual reduction, reflecting a consistent diminishing demand or consumption in France.
Future trends to watch for:
- Possible shifts in consumer preferences towards sugar-free gums may impact imports further.
- Regulatory or health initiatives might also play a role in the declining trend.
- Monitoring foreign exchange rates could be essential, as it might affect import costs.
