The forecasted fuel oil consumption in international maritime bunkers in France shows a slightly declining trend from 1.53 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 and 2025 to 1.51 by 2028. In 2023, the consumption stood at approximately 1.54, indicating a subtle decrease over the forecast period. Year-on-year, the variation is minimal, with around a 0.65% decrease annually from 2026 to 2028. The five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest decline across this period.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes in maritime fuels, technological advancements in ship engine efficiency, and global supply chain shifts impacting fuel demand. Increasing environmental regulations could accelerate the reduction in fuel oil consumption, pushing the sector towards cleaner alternatives.
