In 2023, the re-imports of lead unwrought not containing mostly antimony to France were notably tracked as a baseline for future forecasts. From 2024 onwards, a steady decline is anticipated annually, with year-on-year decreases averaging slightly below 1%. This results in a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that anticipates a consistent reduction in the value of approximately 1% annually based on the provided forecast data from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global demand for lead, alterations in international trade policies impacting lead imports, changes in alternative materials or technologies reducing demand for lead, and environmental regulations that might affect both supply and regulatory costs associated with lead re-importation.
