In 2023, France imported a specific volume of woven fabrics of true hemp, ramie, and other vegetable textile fibers or paper yarn, establishing a baseline for subsequent forecasts. Projections from 2024 to 2028 show a steady decline in import volumes, starting at 862.74 thousand square meters in 2024 and decreasing to 770.1 thousand square meters by 2028. This consistent decrease indicates a year-on-year decline, reflective of shifting demands or increasing domestic production capabilities.

Future trends to watch for:

Influence of sustainable fashion trends and regulatory changes on the demand for natural fibers.
Potential growth in local textile innovation that could reduce dependency on imports.
Economic factors and trade policies influencing France's import behaviors.
