As of 2023, the intra-EU28 imports of precious metals waste to France were at a level not provided in the dataset. However, forecasted values from 2024 through 2028 suggest a consistent declining trend. The import values, expressed in million euros, are projected to decrease steadily each year. The year-on-year percentage variations indicate a gradual reduction, with a significant cumulative decline reflecting a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy changes within the EU that might affect trade dynamics and regulations regarding waste imports.
Technological advancements in recycling techniques, which could reduce the need for imported waste by improving local resource recovery.
Fluctuations in the global precious metal market that could have a direct impact on waste import value and volume.
