The forecast for France's import of nuclear reactors shows a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 9.01 thousand kilograms in 2024 and reaching 11.22 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects a steady upward trend in the volume of imports over the forecast period. In 2023, the import volume was 8.50 thousand kilograms, marking a continuing rise. The year-on-year variation between 2024 and 2025 is approximately 6.2%, and between 2025 and 2026, it is roughly 5.9%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is anticipated to be around 5.6%.
Future trends to watch include potential increases in demand for nuclear energy as Europe pivots towards low-carbon energy sources and France's need to modernize its existing reactor fleet. Economic factors, supply chain dynamics, and regulatory changes will also play important roles in shaping France's nuclear import strategy.
