In 2023, France's municipal waste incineration stood at around 11.93 million metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady, albeit modest, increase in volumes: 11.97 million metric tons in 2024, rising incrementally to 12.15 million metric tons by 2028. This consistent upward trend over the five-year period results in a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.46%. Annual variations are minor, reflecting stability in the sector.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in incineration efficiency, changes in regulatory frameworks impacting waste management, and the integration of circular economy practices that may influence incineration rates and methods.
