The forecasted re-import of optical fibers, excluding telecommunications, to France shows a consistently declining volume from 2024 onwards. In 2023, the volume stood at approximately 5.98 thousand kilograms. The projections indicate a year-on-year decrease of about 5-6% annually from 2024 through 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is expected to be negative, reflecting a decreasing trend.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Technological advancements that might reduce the need for re-importation
- Changes in domestic production capacity or costs
- Modifications in environmental regulations affecting optical fiber production or reuse
- Global market fluctuations and trade policies
