In 2023, the re-import of nickel alloy plates, sheet, strip, and foil to France was valued at approximately 102.0 thousand US dollars. From the forecasted data for 2024 to 2028, there is a clear downward trend. The year-on-year percentage decline is as follows: 2024 to 2025 shows a decrease of 4.4%, from 2025 to 2026 a decrease of 4.5%, from 2026 to 2027 a decrease of 4.6%, and from 2027 to 2028 a decrease of 4.7%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period suggests an average annual decline of about 4.4%.
Future trends to watch for include global demand and price changes in nickel alloys, potential trade policy adjustments, and technological advancements that might either curb or accentuate this declining import trend. Environmental regulations on nickel usage could also play a significant role.
