In 2023, the import of unrefined copper and copper anodes for electrolytic refining to France was recorded at approximately 312.50 thousand kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 predicts a steady increase, with year-on-year growth rates reflecting modest increases: 1.89% in 2025, 1.83% in 2026, 1.78% in 2027, and 1.73% in 2028, indicating a consistent upward trend facilitated by industrial demand and stable economic conditions in France.

Key future trends to monitor include:

Advancements in refining technologies, potentially impacting demand for raw imports.
Market dynamics, including geopolitical factors affecting copper supply chains.
Transition towards renewable energy and electrification, driving copper demand.
