Between 2024 and 2028, the import of natural bitumen and natural asphalt, asphaltites, and asphaltic rocks to France is forecasted to increase progressively from 360.3 million kilograms to 371.9 million kilograms. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth, with variations observed as follows: 0.82% from 2024 to 2025, 0.80% from 2025 to 2026, 0.79% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.77% from 2027 to 2028.
In comparison to 2023, where the actual figures serve as a baseline, the projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five years is relatively modest but positive, indicating a steady market demand.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Potential regulatory changes affecting importation practices in the EU.
- Technological advances in construction which may shift demand dynamics.
- Environmental policies prioritizing sustainable and eco-friendly materials may impact the traditional demand for natural asphalt materials.
