The forecast for import of slide fasteners with chain scoops of base metal to France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with a consistent reduction each year. The projected figures start from 213.43 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decrease to 199.2 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, indicating a continual downward trend. Notably, in 2023, the imports were at a higher level compared to future projections.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of global trade policies and tariffs which may influence import dynamics.
Potential innovations in alternative materials that could affect metal-based fastener demand.
Trends in France’s domestic manufacturing and consumer preferences impacting import needs.
