In 2023, the fresh groundwater abstraction for services in France stood at an unspecified value, providing a baseline for analysis. Forecasts indicate a steady decline in abstraction, with values dropping from 99.06 million cubic meters in 2024 to 63.61 million cubic meters by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decrease over the forecast period. Specifically, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a significant contraction in groundwater use, indicative of changing strategies or reduced demand within the services sector. Such trends highlight a shift towards sustainable practices or alternative water sources.
Future trends to watch include potential regulatory changes emphasizing water conservation and the adoption of innovative technologies in the services sector to reduce water use, which may further influence groundwater abstraction rates.
