In 2023, the import of natural gas in gaseous state to France stood at a significant level, marking a crucial reference point for future projections. According to forecasted data from 2024 to 2028, a slight downward trend in the value of imports is anticipated, declining from 10.361 billion USD in 2024 to 10.132 billion USD in 2028. This indicates a gradual reduction in import values, implying an average annual decrease, though slight, in the anticipated import expenses over this period.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of energy transition policies in France and the European Union aimed at reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
Fluctuations in natural gas prices on the global market, influenced by geopolitical factors and developments in alternative energy technologies.
Potential shifts in international trade agreements or relationships affecting gas imports.
