The forecast for natural gas consumption in France's agriculture and forestry sector presents a steady year-on-year increase from 2024 to 2028. Each year, consumption values rise gradually, with slight increments indicating stable demand growth. Compared to 2023, where the consumption was slightly below 9.76 thousand terajoules, the forecast suggests a healthy upward trend.
Key variations to note include:
- A modest growth trend with annual increases ranging approximately 1.3% to 1.5% during the forecast period.
- A compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting an average annual increase, indicating resilience in energy needs for this sector.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in energy efficiency and potential shifts towards renewable energy sources, which could alter natural gas consumption rates. Additionally, policy changes and climate considerations might influence future demand in unforeseen ways.
