The forecast for natural gas consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector in France shows a steady year-on-year increase. Moving from 63.75 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 65.3 thousand terajoules in 2028, this reflects a consistent growth trend. Given that 2023 marked the transition to this upward trajectory, the compounded average growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period underscores a moderate yet stable expansion in energy use within this industry.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of environmental regulations that may encourage the adoption of alternative energy sources.
Technological advancements that could improve energy efficiency in production processes.
Market fluctuations in natural gas prices, which could influence consumption patterns.
