The import of copper mattes and cement copper to France is projected to rise steadily from 364.86 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 557.9 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year increase is indicative of strong demand growth, with significant percentage increases each year—reaching a notable five-year compounded average growth rate (CAGR). As of 2023, the imports were lower than the forecast for 2024, signaling a positive anticipated trend for the sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential disruptions in global copper supply chains impacting France’s import volumes.
Technological advancements and recycling efforts that might alter copper demand dynamics in France.
Regulatory policies that could influence either import costs or the strategic sourcing of copper products.
