The non-ferrous metals sector in France is projected to see a steady increase in its final consumption of heat from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are consistent, reflecting a predictable rise in energy demand within this industrial segment. The consumption level is set at 300.18 Gigawatt hours in 2024, growing by approximately 2.57% annually to 330.8 Gigawatt hours in 2028. Comparatively, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is forecasted at 2.58%, assuming continued sector expansion and energy utilization efficiency improvements.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in energy efficiency that may alter consumption patterns.
Potential regulatory changes focusing on carbon emissions which might impact energy usage.
Market demand fluctuations influenced by global economic conditions and non-ferrous metal demand.
