The forecast for France's import of colloidal or semi-colloidal graphite indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, imports stood at approximately 3.6 million kilograms. Anticipated values are expected to reduce year-on-year by around 2-3%, reflecting a consistent downward trend. This decline implies a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.0% over five years, suggesting a gradual reduction in demand or increased domestic production capabilities.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements enhancing domestic manufacturing, potential new applications for graphite, or shifts in trade policies that could reverse or amplify this declining trend.
