The forecasted number of petrol passenger cars with an engine size of at least 2000 cc in France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 311.52 thousand units in 2024, the number decreases steadily each year, reaching 297.42 thousand by 2028. This indicates a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period.

Year-on-year variation is consistently negative, reflecting a gradual reduction in the fleet size within this category. This trend suggests a shift in consumer preferences, possibly due to increasing environmental concerns or regulatory changes favoring smaller, more efficient engines or alternative fuel vehicles.

Future Trends to Watch:

Growth in electric and hybrid vehicle adoption, potentially impacting the demand for large petrol-engine vehicles.
Tighter environmental regulations that may further discourage the use of larger petrol engines.
Fluctuations in fuel prices influencing consumer choices between engine sizes and fuel types.
