The forecasted domestic material consumption of non-metallic minerals in France from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. Starting from 5.65 thousand kilograms per capita in 2024, it is predicted to decrease each year, reaching 5.54 thousand kilograms per capita by 2028. This consistent reduction indicates a slight downward trend in the consumption of non-metallic minerals.
Year-on-year variation highlights a steady decline; with the consumption dropping by about 0.53% annually. Examining the last two years, the trends maintain their consistent decline. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reinforces a gradual reduction per year.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements, government policies on sustainability, and shifts in industrial demands which might influence these projections. Additionally, economic factors and environmental regulations may alter consumption patterns in the mid-term.
