The forecast for the heat final consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector in France shows a gradual increase from 2024 through 2028, with values rising from 16.65 to 17.07 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Assuming a stable baseline in 2023, this indicates a modest but consistent growth trend. Year-on-year increments are minor but positive, signifying a stable demand trajectory in this sector.

Key trends to watch for in the coming years include:

Technological advancements within the sector that improve energy efficiency and reduce consumption.
Market shifts driven by regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy use.
Potential economic factors that might impact industrial activity and thereby affect energy consumption levels.
