The domestic extraction of limestone and gypsum in France is projected to decline gradually from 11.09 million metric tons in 2024 to 10.54 million metric tons by 2028. This consistent decrease reflects an average annual reduction (CAGR) of approximately 1.27%. In comparison to 2023, where the extraction volume stood at 11.28 million metric tons, the forecasted data indicate a steady decline over the five-year period, driven by tighter environmental regulations and a shift towards sustainable construction practices.
Future trends to watch include potential technological innovations in recycling and resource efficiency that could mitigate the downward trend. Additionally, the impacts of government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions might further influence extraction volumes.
