In 2023, the import volume of automobiles with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engines of a cylinder capacity between 1000-1500 CC to France was estimated at approximately 890 million kilograms. Forecasted figures indicate a steady year-on-year increase from 2024 to 2028, with annual growth rates consistently hovering around 3-3.5%. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be approximately 3.4%, reflecting sustained growth in demand for this segment of automobiles in France.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifting consumer preferences towards environmentally friendlier engine options could impact demand.
Regulatory changes in emissions and engine capacities in the European Union could alter import dynamics.
Technological advancements in engine efficiency may affect the popularity of different engine capacities.
