In 2023, the import of tea and mate extracts, essences, and concentrates to France was recorded at 4.5468 million kilograms. The forecast indicates a gradual decline in import volumes from 2024 to 2028. Between 2024 and 2025, there is an anticipated decrease of 0.90%, continuing on this downward trend with a 0.89% annual decrease on average through 2028. Over the five-year period, we expect a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.86%, suggesting a consistent reduction in imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Consumer preferences shifting towards locally sourced and sustainable products, impacting import volumes.
Potential economic factors, such as trade agreements and tariffs, influencing import costs and volumes.
Increasing health consciousness potentially boosting demand for mate and specialty teas, possibly mitigating the downturn.
