In 2023, the number of specialized carrier ships in France stood at 38.23 million gross tonnage. From 2024, the forecasts show a consistent year-on-year growth: 5.94% in 2024, 5.73% in 2025, 5.38% in 2026, 5.04% in 2027, and 4.76% in 2028. This results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.37% over the period from 2024 to 2028. Observing the two-year variations — from 2023 to 2024 and subsequently to 2025 — the growth rates are robust and indicate a strong upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in shipbuilding, increased automation, and potential regulatory changes aimed at environmental sustainability. Monitoring shifts in global trade dynamics and potential disruptions in supply chains will also be crucial for future assessments.
