The iron and steel sector in France shows a forecasted increase in the consumption of non-renewable industrial waste, with values rising from 13.57 Terajoules in 2024 to 15.62 Terajoules in 2028. This upward trend indicates a continuous growth in industry activity and potentially more waste being processed and consumed. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is indicative of steady expansion.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advances in waste recycling which may alter consumption patterns.
Regulatory changes promoting sustainability and influencing waste management practices in the sector.
Economic factors impacting the steel production demand and subsequently waste consumption.
