In 2023, the import of copper oxides and hydroxides to France stood at a certain baseline level (specific data for 2023 is not provided). From 2024, forecasts indicate a gradual decline in import volumes, with expectations of reaching 642.58 thousand kilograms by 2028, down from 648.8 thousand kilograms in 2024. Year-on-year decreases are consistent, albeit small, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.19% over the five-year forecast period from 2024 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for in the French market might include:

Potential shifts in domestic production capacities for copper oxides and hydroxides.
Changes in industrial demand driven by emerging technologies or regulations affecting copper use.
Geopolitical factors and trade policies influencing import volumes and prices.
Developments in sustainable materials and recycling that may impact the need for raw copper imports.
