The final consumption of petroleum coke in the iron and steel sectors in France shows a slight annual decline from 2024 to 2028. Consumption decreases from 2.96 to 2.92 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent over the forecast period. Given this steady yet gradual reduction, the year-on-year percentage variation reveals a consistent trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years is a nominal negative rate, indicating a slight, continuous downward trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in industrial energy policies favoring sustainable practices, which could impact petroleum coke consumption.
Technological advancements in the iron and steel sectors that may lead to changes in energy requirements.
Fluctuations in global energy markets and regulatory pressures that could affect the availability and cost of petroleum coke.
