The forecasted import of cigarette paper in rolls of a width not exceeding 5 cm to France shows a consistent decline from 1.3793 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.0132 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of 6.83% from 2024 to 2025, 7.19% from 2025 to 2026, 7.61% from 2026 to 2027, and 8.02% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is a negative 7.08%, highlighting a shrinking market.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in regulatory frameworks, shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier lifestyles, and technological advancements in alternative smoke products, all of which could further impact import volumes negatively in this segment.
