In France, household expenditure on housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels was recorded at about 13.7% of GDP in 2023. The forecast suggests a moderate increase, stabilizing at 13.8% in 2024 and 2025, with a slight bump to 13.9% from 2026 to 2028. This reflects a steady year-on-year increase of approximately 0.7% from 2026 onwards. The 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a stable progression of approximately 0.36% annually, indicating consistent, albeit slow, growth in household expenditure relative to GDP over the period.

Future Trends to Watch:

Sustainability initiatives may influence energy costs, impacting household expenditure.
Structural policy changes, including housing reforms, could affect future expenditure levels.
Inflationary pressures and economic fluctuations may alter energy and utility pricing dynamics.
