The forecasted import of finishing agents and dye carriers for use in the paper and similar industries to France shows a declining trend from 2024, with a decrease from 34.477 million kilograms to 32.668 million kilograms by 2028. The projected figures indicate a consistent year-on-year reduction, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that reflects a steady decrease over the five-year period. This trend may be attributed to shifts in domestic production capabilities or a transition to alternative materials.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in paper production that could reduce the need for traditional finishing agents.
- Environmental regulations influencing the choice and volume of chemicals used in industries.
- Potential for increased demand in other sectors that could offset the decline in the paper industry.
