In 2023, France imported a significant quantity of limestone and gypsum. From 2024 to 2028, the imports are forecasted to increase gradually from 717.17 to 743.73 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year growth is relatively stable, ranging between roughly 0.90% and 1.00%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2024 and 2028 is anticipated to mirror this steady growth pattern.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential policy changes affecting construction and environmental regulations in France could influence limestone and gypsum demand.
Technological innovations in construction materials might shift preferences away from traditional materials.
Global economic conditions impacting supply chains and raw material costs.
