The forecast for France’s whey import from 2024 to 2028 indicates a declining trend. Starting from 2024 at 129.66 million kilograms, imports are expected to drop progressively to 86.555 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a considerable year-on-year decline: from 2024 to 2025 at approximately 8.6%, 2025 to 2026 at 9.2%, 2026 to 2027 at about 9.9%, and finally, 2027 to 2028 at 10.8%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 shows an average annual decrease of around 9.6%.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global dairy market dynamics, potential changes in French consumer preferences toward plant-based alternatives, and any regulatory changes impacting international trade. Close monitoring of these factors will be crucial for accurately predicting long-term demand for whey imports in France.
