In 2023, the import of salted, dried or smoked swine hams and shoulders to France stood at 6 million kilograms. Moving into the forecasted years, there is a declining trend: 2024 sees a volume of 5.895 million kilograms, with a year-on-year decrease continuing to 5.7516 million kilograms in 2025. By 2028, imports are projected to drop to 5.3385 million kilograms. This reflects a consistent decline with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2% over five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences toward plant-based or alternative protein sources, regulatory changes affecting import tariffs, and evolving trade agreements that could impact the supply dynamics and import volumes to France.
