The final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil (excluding biofuel) in domestic navigation in France is forecasted to see a modest increase from 2024 to 2028, growing from 7.32 to 7.61 thousand terajoules. Compared to its standing in 2023, which was slightly below 7 thousand terajoules, this represents a steady upward trend. The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 reflect consistent incremental increases of approximately 0.7% annually, which indicates a stable demand growth. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a consistent trend in moderate consumption growth.
Looking forward, several factors could influence these trends: improvements in marine engine efficiency, regulatory changes promoting cleaner fuels, the economic dynamics of maritime transport, and technological advancements in shipping. Monitoring these variables will be crucial to accurately predicting and responding to shifts in fuel consumption patterns in France's domestic navigation sector.
