In 2023, France imported values of cement stood at approximately 6.2 billion kilograms. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady increase in cement imports, with expectations rising incrementally each year to reach 6.9 billion kilograms by 2028. This forecast suggests an average yearly growth rate of 2.1%, reflecting a consistent upward trend in cement importation driven by potentially growing construction demands and infrastructure development in France.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of EU regulations on carbon emissions, which may affect cement production and imports.
- Technological innovations in construction materials, potentially reducing reliance on cement.
- Economic factors such as building sector growth and public infrastructure investment.
