The forecasted import of lead plates, sheets, and strips to France shows a consistent yearly decline from 2024 to 2028. The import value, which stood at 6.24 million kilograms in 2023, is expected to decrease by approximately 5% annually through this period. By the end of 2028, imports would have dwindled to 4.79 million kilograms, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -6% from 2024 onwards.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in France's industrial demand, the impact of environmental regulations on lead usage, and global market conditions. The pursuit of alternative materials could further influence import volumes.
