The final consumption of solid fossil fuels in the industry sector in France is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. From 2024 to 2025, the consumption is expected to decrease by approximately 5.9%. The decline continues with a 6.2% reduction from 2025 to 2026, 6.5% from 2026 to 2027, and 6.9% by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period represents an average annual decrease of around 6.38%.
Key future trends to watch for include the potential acceleration of this decline due to increasing regulatory pressures on carbon emissions and advances in alternative energy technologies, which may further reduce the reliance on fossil fuels in industrial operations.
