In 2023, the consumption of liquefied petroleum gases in France's paper, pulp, and printing sectors was measured at 91.74 Gigawatthours. Moving into the forecasted period, the consumption is expected to gradually increase, with a projected reach of 94.85 Gigawatthours by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates highlight a steady upward trajectory, reflecting consistent demand increments. On average, projection over the five-year period indicates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR), underscoring modest yet regular growth in LPG consumption.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in manufacturing processes that could either enhance efficiency, reducing LPG demand, or support increased production, thus elevating consumption. Additionally, regulatory shifts towards greener energy solutions could significantly impact the industry's reliance on LPG.
