In 2023, the final consumption of anthracite in France's agriculture and forestry sector was 310.0 metric tons, marking this as the baseline for comparison. The forecasted data for 2024 through 2028 shows a moderate annual increase in consumption. Specifically, after maintaining a steady usage of 320.0 metric tons in 2024 and 2025, a slight increase to 330.0 metric tons in 2026 is projected, followed by a further rise to 340.0 metric tons in 2027 and 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual upward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in sustainable agriculture potentially reducing reliance on anthracite.
Regulatory measures impacting coal consumption across the European Union, influencing future demand.
Potential shifts in energy preferences towards renewable sources affecting anthracite usage.
