In the French iron and steel sectors, the forecast for non-renewable industrial waste final consumption shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 13.57 Terajoules in 2024, this demand increases yearly, reaching 15.62 Terajoules by 2028. This represents an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.5%. Given this pattern, there is a noticeable year-on-year increase, reflecting the sector's growing reliance on non-renewable industrial waste.
Looking forward, key trends to monitor include advancements in recycling technology and policy shifts towards sustainability, which may impact future reliance on non-renewable sources. Additionally, economic shifts and regulatory changes in the EU could further modify these forecasts.
