In 2023, the imports of fossil fuels into France stood at 160.5 million metric tons. Based on forecasted data, there is a slight decline observed from 2024 through 2028, with imports decreasing from 159.67 million metric tons to 155.87 million metric tons. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.6% to 0.8%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reveals a negative growth of around 0.8% per year, reflecting a modest but consistent decline in fossil fuel imports.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of France's energy transition policies on fossil fuel demand, the advancement in renewable energy adoption, and potential geopolitical influences on energy supply chains which could further alter import patterns and dependencies.
