In 2023, the import of linoleum and floor coverings with a textile backing to France was slightly higher than the forecasted 2.2377 million square meters for 2024. The projections indicate a gradual decline in imports, with year-on-year decreases of approximately 1.55% from 2024 to 2028, marking a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) decline of about 1.56%. This trend reflects a consistent downshift in demand or shifts in production or sourcing strategies.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts toward eco-friendly or digitized flooring solutions as consumer preferences evolve, which could impact import levels. Additionally, changes in international trade policies or economic conditions could further influence these forecasts.
