In 2023, France imported a total of red lead and orange lead that set a baseline for subsequent forecasts. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady but moderate increase in imports, from 762.99 to 773.24 thousand kilograms. Year-on-year variations depict a gradual growth trend: 2024 to 2025 shows a slight increase of around 0.35%, continuing similarly each year. This steady rise reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) expected to remain consistent over the forecast period, signifying stable demand or operational efficiency in supply chains.
Future trends to monitor include potential regulatory changes affecting lead imports in the EU, advancements in substitute materials, and shifts in industrial usage patterns. Additionally, any global economic fluctuations or geopolitical factors could impact this balance significantly.
