In 2023, the import value of natural graphite in powder or flakes to France was approximately 5.6 million US dollars. The forecast indicates a steady increase over the next five years, with values projected to reach 6.0153 million US dollars by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth rate of about 1.37% from 2024 to 2025 and a consistent upward trend through 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is encouraging, emphasizing the sector's resilience and consistent demand growth.

Future trends to watch for include:

Integration of graphite into emerging technologies (e.g., electric vehicles, renewable energy) which may boost demand.
Potential supply chain shifts influenced by geopolitical or environmental regulations impacting import dynamics.
Price fluctuations resulting from changes in global demand and supply, impacting the import values.
