The import of marble and travertine in blocks to France shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 3.2346 million USD and falling to 1.9843 million USD. Compared to the previous actual data from 2023, these forecasted figures suggest a downward trend, with significant year-on-year reductions: 10% from 2024 to 2025, 10.8% from 2025 to 2026, 11.9% from 2026 to 2027, and 13.3% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate does not apply as the trend is negative.
Key future trends to watch for include:
- A continued move towards more sustainable building materials may influence demand.
- Economic factors, such as fluctuations in construction activity and exchange rates, could further impact import volumes.
- Advancements in artificial stone manufacturing may provide competitive alternatives.
