The import of pentaerythritol to France is anticipated to decline significantly from 2024 to 2028, with the quantity decreasing from 1.5443 million kilograms in 2024 to 0.6323 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year decrease, beginning at approximately 15.2% between 2024 and 2025, continuing at a diminishing rate over the following years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period stands at a negative figure, highlighting a steady contraction in import volumes. In 2023, the import stood higher compared to these forecasts, pointing towards a significant downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in French domestic production capacities impacting imports.
Global market pricing and supply chain stability for pentaerythritol.
Environmental regulations affecting chemical imports and usage.
Technological advancements that may alter production processes or material requirements.
