In 2023, the import of aluminium alloy tubes and pipes to France was significantly influenced by market conditions, with the import quantity standing at a robust level (specific 2023 data not provided). However, from 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady decline. Starting at 14.007 million kilograms in 2024, the imports are expected to decrease by approximately 3.3% to 13.542 million kilograms in 2025. This downward trend continues, with reductions of 3.4% in the subsequent years, reaching 12.177 million kilograms in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period suggests a modest contraction.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of global trade policies and tariffs on aluminium alloy imports.
- Technological advancements in alternative materials that may reduce dependence on aluminium alloys.
- Potential shifts in supply chain dynamics and geopolitical landscapes affecting trade.
- Environmental regulations promoting recycling and reducing demand for new imports.
