The forecast for the re-import of footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics to France shows a steady decline in volume from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 97.18 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 84.61 thousand kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with noticeable reductions each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period indicates a consistent downward trend in the re-import volumes. As we are in 2024, it is notable that this forecasted decline suggests an ongoing reduction in volume, which follows an unmet 2023 baseline that was not specified.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in international trade policies that could affect import dynamics.
Changes in production costs and competition within the EU which might influence re-import demands.
Trends in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials that could alter the market mix.
Technological advancements in footwear manufacturing which may reduce the need for re-imports by increasing local production efficiency.
