In 2023, the imports of additives and oxygenates (excluding biofuel portion) to France stood at approximately 120.7 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Moving forward, the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates very modest growth, with values increasing incrementally each year. The average growth rate over this five-year period appears to be minimal, suggesting a largely stable demand for these imports into France. Year-on-year variations are quite small, pointing towards a mature market.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of environmental policies on non-biofuel additives and oxygenates demand.
Technological advancements in alternative fuel and additive development.
Changes in global trade dynamics that may affect France’s import levels.
