The forecast for the sold production of fabricated asbestos fibres and mixtures based on asbestos and magnesium carbonate in France shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, actual production stood at a higher level than the forecasted production for 2024, suggesting a downward trajectory. Year-on-year decreases are noted, with the value dropping from 41.34 million euros in 2024 to 26.178 million euros in 2028. This trend reflects a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of decline over the five-year period, indicating shrinking demand or regulatory impacts on the industry.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increasing regulatory pressures against asbestos use due to health risks.
Shifts toward alternative, safer materials that could further reduce demand.
Technological advancements that might offer sustainable substitutes.
Potential market opportunities in regions with less stringent regulations, though these pose ethical considerations.
