As of 2023, the re-import of pitch coke to France stood at approximately 203.09 thousand kilograms. For the period from 2024 to 2028, the forecasted values indicate a steady increase, with annual values rising from 203.44 to 204.81 thousand kilograms. This represents a modest growth trend with slight year-on-year increases in pitch coke re-imports, suggesting stable demand.
From 2024 onwards, the year-on-year growth rates depict minimal fluctuations, with percentage variations between 0.17% and 0.16% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period highlights a consistent uptick, averaging marginal increases each year.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in industrial demand or regulatory changes affecting pitch coke re-imports. Supply chain dynamics, particularly in key sectors such as aluminum smelting and steel production, should also be monitored to assess their impact on import volumes.
