The forecasted data indicates a consistent decrease in the import volume of nickel alloy plates, sheets, strips, and foil to France from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 2.1638 million kilograms in 2024, the projected import volume declines annually to reach 1.9273 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year percentage changes show a persistent downward trend, with an overall CAGR illustrating a steady reduction over the five-year forecast period. In 2023, the import volume was higher than in any subsequent years forecasted, marking it as a peak year before this continuous decline.
Future trends to watch include global supply chain adjustments, price volatility in raw nickel, and changes in EU trade policies post-2023 that might influence France's metal import strategies and demand. Additionally, technological advancements and recycling capabilities in the metal industry may alter the import needs and lead to deviations from forecasted trends.
