In 2023, France's natural gas final consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector stood at a relatively stable figure. The forecast for 2024-2028 suggests a plateau in consumption, starting at 1.49 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, then slightly declining to 1.48 million for the remaining years. The year-on-year variation is negligible, indicating no significant upward or downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is flat, demonstrating steady consumption levels.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in energy efficiency technologies within the sector, shifts towards renewable energy sources, or regulatory changes impacting energy consumption.
