The forecasted final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil, excluding biofuel portions, in the wood and wood products sector in France exhibits a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 22.94 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, with year-on-year increases, the consumption is expected to reach 25.39 by 2028. This represents a smooth progression with an estimated average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years. Given the data, the sector is witnessing steady growth, closely aligning with broader industrial energy consumption trends.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of regulatory changes aiming to reduce fossil fuel dependency, the adoption of more efficient production technologies, and the gradual integration of alternative energy sources, which could influence consumption patterns in the wood and wood products industry.
