In France, the direct material inputs for Limestone and Gypsum are forecasted to gradually decrease from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from 11.8 million metric tons to 11.3 million metric tons. Compared to 2023, a slight downward trend is evident, as the projected values for 2024 signify a continuation of this decline. The year-on-year percentage variations indicate modest decreases, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years demonstrating a steady yet minor reduction in overall demand.
Future trends to watch include regulatory changes pertaining to sustainability, technological advancements in construction practices affecting material demand, and macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth or contraction that could significantly alter material input requirements in the coming years.
