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.
