The re-import of lubricating oil additives with petroleum or bitumen oil to France is forecasted to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028. The projected volumes drop from 1.3193 million kilograms in 2024 to 0.9817 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend in demand or supply efficiencies. In 2023, actual data would need to determine year-on-year variations, but the consistent decrease over the forecast period suggests a significant change in market conditions or shifts towards alternative products or technologies.

Future trends to watch for include:

Emerging technologies or alternative materials that could replace traditional lubricating oil additives.
Environmental policies impacting the production and import of such additives in Europe.
Economic factors affecting France's industrial output, potentially influencing additive requirements.
