The UK's electricity consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting from a forecasted 21.02 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 20.12 thousand terajoules by 2028. Comparing the 2024 forecast with the actual data from 2023, there is a noticeable decreasing trend over these years, with each year showing a reduction in consumption. The year-on-year percentage variations reflect this gradual decline. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period similarly suggests a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in efficiency technologies, shifts in economic conditions affecting industrial output, and regulatory changes targeting energy consumption that could impact this sector's demand for electricity.
