In 2023, France's import of refractory cements, mortars, and concretes except graphite stood at a significant volume, serving as a baseline for future projections. From 2024 onwards, a declining trend is forecasted, with quantities dropping steadily from 70.143 million kilograms in 2024 to 30.014 million kilograms by 2028. This decline indicates diminishing demand or increased domestic production efficiency.
The year-on-year percentage variation highlights a consistent decrease across this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period underscores an average decline annually, reflecting structural changes in the market.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global supply chains, innovations in materials technology, and economic factors influencing construction sectors, possibly reversing or deepening the decline in imports.
