The available data projects a steady decline in gas oil and diesel oil consumption in France from 2024 to 2028, decreasing annually by approximately 0.33%. In 2023, the actual consumption stood somewhat higher, initiating this forecasted downtrend. Year-on-year analysis of 2024 to 2025 displays a marginal decrease of 0.33%, a pattern expected to continue with 0.33% each subsequent year until 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for these years also stands at an approximate -0.33%, reinforcing the trend of gradual reduction in available consumption of these fuels.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of European Union's climate policies encouraging alternative renewable energy sources over traditional fuels.
- Technological advancements in transportation, particularly electrification, potentially accelerating the decline in gas oil and diesel demand.
- Public and private sectors' investment in sustainable energy infrastructures could further reduce fossil fuel use.
