The import of motor vehicles with a diesel or semi-diesel engine of more than 2,500 cm³ to France is projected to decrease significantly from 13.89 thousand items in 2024 to 1.24 thousand items in 2028. This represents a steep decline, highlighting a consistent year-on-year decrease: -23.1% (2024 to 2025), -29.8% (2025 to 2026), -42% (2026 to 2027), and -71.4% (2027 to 2028). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is projected to be -41.4%, indicating a sharp long-term decline.
Key trends to watch for in the future include:
- Shift towards more sustainable fuel alternatives, impacting diesel engine imports.
- Regulatory changes and incentives from the European Union to reduce diesel vehicle emissions.
- Increasing consumer preference for electric and hybrid vehicles, further diminishing diesel vehicle demand.
- Global supply chain fluctuations and economic conditions affecting import volumes.
