In 2023, France imported approximately 459.72 million kilograms of mixtures of slag and similar industrial waste products. Forecasted data suggests a steady year-on-year increase in import volumes from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period from 2024 to 2028 is estimated to be around 2.8%. This positive trajectory indicates a consistent demand for such materials in France, potentially driven by industrial and construction developments requiring these resources.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental regulations impacting industrial waste imports.
- Technological innovations offering alternatives to slag mixes.
- Shifts in domestic production affecting import reliance.
