In 2023, the re-import of non-electrical articles of graphite or other carbon to France stood at 17.5 thousand kilograms. Analyzing the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028, there is a clear downward trend. From 2024 to 2025, the anticipated year-on-year decrease is approximately 6.3%. The consecutive yearly declines continue, showing 6.6% from 2025 to 2026, 7% from 2026 to 2027, and 7.3% from 2027 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period is expected to be around -6.9%, indicating a steady decrease over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global trade policies, technological advancements in material science that may impact the demand for graphite-based products, and economic factors affecting France's industrial sector. Monitoring these factors will help assess the ongoing demand and re-import levels for these materials.
