The import volume of parts of machines for making paper or paperboard to France is projected to decline over the next five years, starting from 2024. In 2023, the actual import volume was slightly above 2.2 million kilograms. The forecast for 2024 is 2.2778 million kilograms, indicating a minimal increase. However, the projected values for the subsequent years show a consistent decrease, reaching 1.9171 million kilograms in 2028. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, suggesting a downturn in import volumes.
Future trends to monitor include technological advancements in domestic production capabilities in France, shifts in global trade policies, and innovations in the paper and paperboard manufacturing industries that may alter the demand for machine parts. Additionally, environmental regulations could impact the production processes and subsequently the demand for imported machinery components.
