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.
