In 2023, the production of unwrought lead containing antimony in France stood at 14 million kilograms. The forecasted figures for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline in production volumes, decreasing from 13.834 million kilograms in 2024 to 13.042 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.5%, with a five-year CAGR of -1.41%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in the recycling and recovery of lead, potentially affecting the demand for new production.
Environmental regulations aimed at reducing lead use, which could impact production levels.
Market demand shifts driven by changes in battery manufacturing and other industrial uses.
