In 2023, the import volume of medical apparatus using alpha, beta, or gamma radiation to France was recorded as a baseline. From 2024 onwards, forecasts suggest a consistent decline. The import volume in 2024 is projected to be approximately 14.62 thousand kilograms, decreasing year-on-year to 4.14 thousand kilograms by 2028. This showcases a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a significant drop in imports over the five-year period. The annual reduction in imports signals a substantial contraction in demand or potential shifts in domestic production capacity or regulations.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in radiation therapy equipment could affect demand.
Shifts in healthcare policies and regulations within France could influence import needs.
Increased focus on domestic alternatives or self-sufficiency in healthcare apparatus.
Potential changes in international trade relations impacting supply chains.
