The limestone and gypsum trade balance for France from 2024 to 2028 is forecasted to remain relatively stable, with values transitioning from a slightly negative balance of -0.001 metric tons per capita in 2024 and 2025 to a neutral balance in 2026, which is expected to persist through 2028. These values suggest marginal changes year-on-year, highlighting a stabilization period after a period of deficits. The consistent shift toward a zero balance reflects a potential equilibrium between imports and exports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of economic policies aimed at reducing import reliance and boosting local production.
Market shifts or environmental regulations affecting limestone and gypsum industries.
Technological advancements that could influence production efficiencies or demand dynamics.
