The Wood and Wood Products sector in France showed steady growth in the final consumption of natural gas from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the consumption was forecasted at 900.18 GWh, escalating to 977.74 GWh by 2028. If we evaluate the year-on-year percentage change, we observe an approximate increase of around 2% each year.
This translates into a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 2.11% over these five years, indicating a consistent upward trend in energy consumption within the sector. In 2023, the sector's final consumption of natural gas was lower, marking a progressive increase over the years.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of regulatory shifts on energy efficiency, technological advancements in wood processing, and potential shifts towards alternative energy sources. These factors could significantly influence natural gas consumption patterns in this sector.
