In 2024, the forecasted gross inland consumption of non-renewable municipal waste in France is expected to be 1.32 million tonnes of oil equivalent, representing a modest year-on-year increase of 1.5% from the previous year. This trend of incremental growth continues through 2028, with an estimated annual growth rate of approximately 1.5%. The forecast indicates a consistent rise in consumption over the period, highlighting a steady demand or reliance on non-renewable waste for energy production.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements that could improve waste-to-energy conversion efficiencies, thereby potentially altering consumption trends.
Regulatory changes aimed at reducing non-renewable waste dependency, which could dampen consumption growth.
Increased emphasis on sustainable and renewable waste management practices, influencing long-term market dynamics.
