In 2024, France's machinery sector is forecasted to consume 30.68 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent of gas oil and diesel oil. This consumption is expected to decrease consistently over the next five years, with projections showing 23.71 thousand tonnes by 2028, indicating a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) decrease of approximately 6% per year. The sharp declines from 2025 and 2026 show a year-on-year reduction of about 6% each year, reflecting a significant shift in energy consumption patterns in the sector.
Future trends to watch include the increasing adoption of alternative energy sources and technological advancements aimed at improving fuel efficiency in machinery. Regulatory measures towards carbon emissions reduction will likely accelerate this trend, and industry adaptation strategies will be key to mitigating impacts on fuel consumption patterns.
