EU28 COUNTRIES
France gets imported jeans not only from around the world but also from within the EU. Let’s begin by starting to have an analysis of the figures for imports of jeans into French Republic from within EU. In the table below, we can observe that French Republic imported about 25 million pcs of jeans from countries within EU – highest among them being from Belgium. Other important countries are Spain, Italy, Netherland and Ireland etc. However, it needs to be remembered that these jeans could have been the ones that are re-distributed after importing from other countries or a part of them having been produced in EU. It’s interesting to note that the total jeans imported from within EU have increased from 23 million pcs to over 25 million pcs.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION
The per capita consumption of jeans in French Republic can be calculated below:
2010
Total net consumption       :           43.52 million pcs
Total population                   :          65.02 million
Per capita consumption     :          0.67 jeans per person/P.A
2014
Total net consumption        :          46.42 million pcs
Total population                   :          67.64 million
Per capita consumption     :          0.69 jeans per person/p.a
From the above analysis, it can be drawn that from the year 2010 to 2014, the per capita consumption has been slightly increased from 0.67 Jeans per person per annum to 0.69 Jeans per person per annum – a figure which is negligible and does not encourage huge optimism. Also the per capita consumption is much lower than many other nations like UK , Germany , Benelux etc. Not the greatest market, but still has a decent consumption of about 45 million pcs.
