The consumption of Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) in France's wood and wood products sector is projected to increase steadily from 7.24 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 7.85 thousand tonnes by 2028. Compared to actual consumption figures in 2023, this forecast indicates a consistent annual growth rate, with each year showing a gradual rise. Analyzing the year-on-year growth, we see approximately a 2.2% increase each year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the five-year period is projected to be relatively stable, highlighting a modest but consistent upward trend.

Future trends to watch in this sector include:

Advancements in energy efficiency within the wood industry that may impact LPG consumption.
The influence of regulatory policies on emissions, which could drive shifts towards alternative energy sources.
Potential fluctuations in LPG pricing and availability that could affect consumption patterns.
