The final consumption of natural gas in France's textile and leather sector is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, with a starting point at 114.74 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 85.3 in 2028. In 2023, this sector consumed slightly more, marking a downward trend in consumption. The year-on-year changes highlight a consistent reduction in consumption, signaling decreased reliance on natural gas. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 further supports the anticipated contraction in usage.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in energy efficiency, potential shifts to alternative energy sources, regulatory changes favoring lower emissions, and the economic factors influencing production scales within this sector in France. Additionally, any significant policy changes within the EU impacting energy consumption should be closely monitored.
