The non-ferrous metals sector in France is forecasted to experience a steady increase in the final consumption of heat from 2024 through 2028, with growth indicated by values ranging from 1.08 to 1.18 thousand terajoules. Notably, from 2024 onwards, the sector showed an increment pattern with the year-on-year percentage change culminating in approximately a 3.3% CAGR over these five years. Observing historical dynamics, the final consumption of heat in 2023, the base year, stood slightly lower, showing a gradual upward movement forecast in subsequent years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Possible impacts of regulatory and environmental policies on energy efficiency.
The role of technological advancements intended to reduce energy consumption.
Fluctuations in global metal demand which could significantly influence energy usage.
