The forecasted data shows a consistent declining trend in the number of seaborne passengers embarked and disembarked in France, with a year-on-year decrease from -7.8% in 2024 to -9% in 2028. This continual decline suggests that the maritime passenger transport sector is expected to face challenges and reduced demand over these years. The absence of explicit data for 2023 limits precise trend analysis, but the pattern highlights a need for strategic adjustments in maritime operations and investments.
Future trends to watch for:
- Economic factors influencing travel and tourism recovery post-pandemic.
- Competition from other modes of transport and emerging travel preferences impacting seaborne travel.
- Potential regulatory changes and environmental initiatives affecting operational costs in the maritime industry.
