As of 2023, France's non-ferrous metal direct material inputs stood at a certain milestone, serving as a baseline for future forecasts. Projecting forward, the forecast data predicts a slight decline in volume from 2024 to 2028, starting at 5.95 million metric tons in 2024 and decreasing to 5.84 million metric tons by 2028. This consistent, though modest, reduction reflects a stabilizing trend with minor yearly variations, culminating in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that indicates an average decrease over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in recycling and material efficiency.
- Policy changes at both the EU and national levels influencing material demand.
- Global economic shifts impacting trade and supply chains.
