As of 2024, the forecast for the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil, excluding biofuel, in France's food, beverages, and tobacco sectors shows a gradual decrease. The consumption is expected to decline from 938.07 GWh in 2024 to 926.09 GWh by 2028. The trend suggests a persistent yet modest reduction, with year-on-year decreases of approximately 0.3% from 2025 to 2028. While the specific 2023 figures are not available, the projected CAGR over the five years is indicative of a slightly decreasing trend in energy utilization within these sectors.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in energy efficiency, potential regulatory changes promoting cleaner technologies, and shifts toward renewable energy. The evolving consumer demand for sustainable practices in food and beverage production could further accelerate this transition.
