In 2023, France imported approximately 1.84 million kilograms of sewing thread of synthetic filaments. The forecast for 2024 sees a minor decline to 1.8399 million kilograms, with a continued slight decrease annually through 2028, reaching 1.8239 million kilograms. The year-on-year decrease from 2024 onward suggests a marginal negative growth trend, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a small contraction over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of shifts in the textile industry, including the adoption of sustainable materials and practices.
- Changes in trade policies and tariffs that could affect import volumes and costs.
- Technological advancements in textile manufacturing that may reduce the need for imported thread.
