In 2023, France imported approximately 10.75 million kilograms of corks and crowns of base metal. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts suggest a steady increase in the import volume, reaching approximately 11.93 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates reflect a stable upward trajectory, with incremental annual increases around 2% over the period. This consistent growth results in a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 2.11% over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in demand due to changes in the wine and beverage industries.
Impact of any emerging materials or technologies that could replace traditional corks and crowns.
Regulatory changes affecting import duties and environmental considerations.
