The analysis of the forecast for the import of unwrought non-alloy zinc to France indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume was recorded at 127.78 million kilograms. The forecast suggests a steady decrease, with year-on-year reductions of approximately 0.9% for 2024 to 2025, 0.9% for 2025 to 2026, 0.9% for 2026 to 2027, and 0.9% for 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reflects a modest drop of about 0.9% per year.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Global economic conditions and industrial activity impacting demand for zinc.
- France's domestic zinc production and recycling rates influencing import needs.
- Developments in zinc-related technologies that could alter consumption patterns.
- Trade policies and tariffs that might affect the cost and volume of imports.
