In 2023, the natural gas final consumption in the non-ferrous metal sector in France was at a stable point, preceding an anticipated slight decline from 2024 to 2028. The forecasted values demonstrate a minimal year-on-year decrease, with the consumption expected to steadily drop from 10.82 thousand Terajoules in 2024 to 10.79 thousand Terajoules in 2028, reflecting diminishing reliance or increased efficiency in natural gas use in this sector. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years suggests a marginal negative growth.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential policy changes impacting energy use in the industrial sector.
- Technological advancements leading to increased energy efficiency.
- Market shifts towards renewable energy sources.
- Economic factors affecting production levels in the non-ferrous metal industry.
