The forecasted consumption of electricity by the non-metallic minerals sector in France is projected to decline slightly from 7.8 thousand gigawatt-hours in 2024 to 7.66 thousand gigawatt-hours by 2028. This indicates a slow but consistent negative growth rate, averaging a decrease of 0.45% annually over the five-year period. As of the last available actual data in 2023, the sector's electricity consumption stood at a similar level, reflecting stability followed by gradual reduction.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in energy efficiency measures, regulatory impacts on industrial energy consumption, and the adoption of alternative technologies that could further influence electricity demand in this sector.
