The final consumption of brown coal briquettes in France is forecasted to slightly decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the consumption stood at 50.74 thousand metric tons. Over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, there is a minimal year-on-year decline.

This suggests a modest but consistent reduction in usage.

Future trends to watch for include:

Environmental policies pushing for renewable energy adoption might further decrease brown coal briquette consumption.
Potential shifts in industrial technology that might reduce reliance on this energy source.
Changing market dynamics in response to global energy transitions impacting domestic consumption patterns.
