In 2023, the import of iodine to France stood at 1.1426 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a gradual decline in imports, with values dropping annually. The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 show a consistent reduction, illustrating a downward trend in iodine imports:
- 2024 to 2025: -1.85%
- 2025 to 2026: -1.83%
- 2026 to 2027: -1.82%
- 2027 to 2028: -1.84%
Analyzing the five-year period, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) equates to an average annual decrease of approximately -1.84%. This reflects a systematic decrease in iodine imports, possibly influenced by changes in industrial demand, advancements in alternative technologies, or shifts in international trade policies.
Future trends worth monitoring include developments in domestic iodine production capabilities, shifts in global iodine supply chains, and environmental regulations impacting iodine usage and importation.
