In 2023, the grazed biomass direct material inputs in France stood at 59.42 million metric tons. Projections indicate a gradual decline from 58.88 million metric tons in 2024 to 56.75 million metric tons in 2028. This trend represents a year-on-year decrease of about 0.92% annually from 2024 to 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.89% over the five-year forecast period. This downward trajectory suggests changes in agricultural practices or demand constraints impacting grazed biomass inputs.
Future trends to watch include:
- Technological advancements in sustainable grazing techniques that may influence material input volumes.
- Shifts in policy or economic incentives promoting alternative biomass sources.
- Climate change impacts and a potential shift in the types of biomass inputs required or available in the French market.
