In 2024, the final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil for domestic navigation in France is expected to maintain a consistent upward trend from 2023, when it stood at 2.00 thousand gigawatt-hours. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady increase, with the year-on-year growth rate remaining stable at roughly 1% annually. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be approximately 1%. This trend reflects a gradual rise in fuel consumption in the domestic maritime sector.
Looking ahead, several trends could impact these forecasts:
- Regulatory changes focused on reducing emissions may drive increased adoption of alternative fuels or more efficient technologies.
- Economic factors, including fluctuations in oil prices and domestic economic activity, could influence demand.
- Technological advancements in marine transport efficiency might alter consumption patterns.
