In 2023, France's import of carbon and graphite electrodes, except for furnaces, stood at a significant level. The forecast for 2024 indicates a value of 10.499 million USD, followed by a gradual decline in subsequent years: 10.289 million USD in 2025, 10.085 million USD in 2026, 9.8837 million USD in 2027, and 9.6869 million USD in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease, highlighting a negative trend in these imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in industrial demand affecting carbon and graphite electrode imports.
The impact of emerging technologies and alternative materials on traditional electrode usage.
Trade policy changes that might influence import pricing and supply chains.
