The import of waste, scale, dross, and slag of the iron or steel industry to France is forecasted to decline from 2024 through 2028. With data from 2023 as a baseline, observing this trend reveals a consistent year-on-year decrease in import value. From 2024 to 2028, the projected CAGR indicates a downward trend, with a significant annual reduction rate. This decline may reflect a strategic emphasis on local recycling, waste minimization, or industry regulation in France.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential regulatory changes affecting waste imports and domestic recycling capabilities.
Technological advancements in waste management and recycling within France.
Global trade policy alterations impacting the flow of industrial by-products.
