The data indicates a gradual decline in the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil in the non-ferrous metal sector in France from 4.88 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 4.61 thousand tonnes by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease ranging from approximately 1.6% to 1.3% annually over the period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights an average annual decrease of around 1.4%.

Future trends to watch for in this sector include:

The impact of regulatory pressures for cleaner energy use in industrial sectors, potentially accelerating the decline in fossil fuel consumption.
Advancements in energy efficiency and alternative fuel technologies, which could further reduce dependency on gas and diesel oil.
Economic factors impacting the non-ferrous metal industry, affecting overall energy demand.
