The forecast for lubricants consumption in international maritime bunkers in France indicates a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with the consumption expected to decrease from 122.17 Gigawatt hours in 2024 to 98.2 Gigawatt hours by 2028. The year-on-year percentage changes highlight a gradual reduction in consumption, reflecting trends in the maritime industry's efficiency improvements and possibly a shift towards alternative energy sources. Between 2023 and 2024, consumption stood at a higher level, though exact figures from 2023 are unspecified in the given dataset.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of global regulations aimed at reducing maritime emissions.
- The adoption of advanced technologies for vessel efficiency.
- A potential increase in alternative fuels usage which may further decrease lubricant consumption.
- The role of economic factors and maritime trade patterns in lubricant demand.
