In 2023, the import of cotton waste to France was recorded at 19 million kilograms. Projected figures from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline in imports, with values decreasing from 18.894 million kilograms in 2024 to 18.167 million kilograms by 2028. This gradual decline represents a year-on-year reduction of approximately 1% across the forecasted period.
Meanwhile, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 shows an average annual decrease of approximately 0.8%. Over the short term, this decline is consistent, reflecting potential shifts in industrial demand or import strategies.
Future trends to monitor include changes in the global cotton supply chain, shifts in textile recycling policies, and advancements in alternative material technologies that could influence France's import needs for cotton waste.
