The forecasted naphtha imports to France show a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028, rising from 4.37 to 4.39 million tonnes of oil equivalent. As of 2023, the actual import stood at approximately 4.36 million tonnes. The year-on-year growth is relatively stagnant, with minor annual increments that suggest stability rather than rapid expansion. Over the five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) hovers around a modest increase, reflecting a consistent yet slow upward trend.

Looking ahead, several trends could impact naphtha imports:

Global energy transitions towards renewable sources might influence demand.
France’s economic growth and industrial activity may shape future import needs.
International oil prices and geopolitical factors could also affect the market significantly.
