In 2023, the final consumption of renewables and biofuels in industry in France was approximately 16.75 thousand gigawatthours. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight downward trend, with consumption decreasing marginally each year, from 16.74 to 16.69 thousand gigawatthours. This reflects a generally stable, but slightly declining trend, with year-on-year decreases of less than 0.1%. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates a slowly diminishing consumption pattern.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in renewable energy technologies, changes in energy policies, and shifts in industrial energy efficiency strategies, which may alter this trajectory. Additionally, the impact of global energy markets and domestic economic conditions could influence future consumption patterns significantly.
