The coking coal gross inland consumption in France for 2024 is forecasted at 2.81 million tonnes of oil equivalent, with a gradual decline to 2.57 by 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a consistent downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decrease year-over-year.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increasing policy emphasis on reducing fossil fuel dependency, which may accelerate the decline in coking coal consumption.
Technological advancements in steel manufacturing that could reduce coal necessity.
Global demand shifts and their impact on France's industrial strategies.
