In 2024, the electricity final consumption in the UK's Non-Metallic Minerals Sector is projected at 5.84 thousand gigawatt-hours. By 2028, it is expected to decline steadily to 5.59 thousand gigawatt-hours. The forecast data indicates a marginal annual decrease, illustrating a consistent downtrend over the five-year period. The year-on-year variation shows slight declines, reflecting an industry possibly optimizing efficiency or facing reduced demand. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a subtle contraction in electricity consumption in this sector.
Future trends to monitor include technological advancements that may influence energy efficiency, regulatory changes affecting energy use, and market shifts in demand for non-metallic minerals. These could alter consumption patterns significantly.
