In 2023, France's fuel oil transformation output was reported at 237.85 thousand terajoules. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a consistent decline in fuel oil transformation output, dropping from 232.42 to 211.98 thousand terajoules. Year-on-year reductions indicate a steady decline as the industry seeks efficiency and alternative energy sources. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period marks a decreasing trend, with output shrinking at an average rate.

Key future trends to watch include:

The ongoing shift towards renewable energy sources, potentially accelerating the decline in fuel oil demand.
Regulatory changes impacting production processes and environmental compliance costs.
Technological advancements improving energy efficiency, thus affecting traditional fuel oil usage.
