The import of industrial gases into France is set to marginally increase from 97.101 million kilograms in 2024 to 99.334 million kilograms by 2028. This suggests a steady yet slow growth in import volumes, with a consistent year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.58%. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is expected to reflect a modest increase, indicative of a stable industrial demand. In 2023, the import volume stood lower than the forecast for 2024, signifying a positive growth trajectory in the forthcoming years.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions from technological advancements in alternative gases, changes in environmental regulations that could impact import volumes, and shifts in domestic production capacities. Additionally, economic conditions affecting industrial output should be closely monitored as they may further influence import dynamics.
