In 2023, France's re-import of windscreen wipers, defrosters, and demisters stood at a certain volume. Forecasts indicate a consistent decline in this volume from 2024 onwards, with year-on-year reductions anticipated: 14.7% from 2024 to 2025, 16.9% from 2025 to 2026, 19.9% from 2026 to 2027, and 24.3% from 2027 to 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 predicts an average annual decline.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in automotive components potentially reducing the need for re-imports, shifts in domestic manufacturing capabilities, and changes in trade policies impacting import dynamics. Environmental regulations and consumer preferences could also influence demand trends.
