In 2023, France's inland consumption of blast furnace gas was measured at a certain level below the forecasted 67.08 thousand terajoules for 2024. The forecast shows a steady decline: 1.19% in 2025, 1.19% in 2026, 1.19% in 2027, and 1.21% in 2028, equating to a CAGR of approximately -1.21% over this five-year span.

Future trends to watch include:

France's industrial policy changes impacting energy mix choices and reliance on blast furnace gas.
Technological advancements influencing energy efficiency and possibly reducing gas consumption further.
Regulatory or market-driven shifts towards greener energy sources which may accelerate the decline in consumption.
