In 2023, the pipeline transport volume in France reached 10.15 billion tonne kilometers. From the forecasted data, there is a noticeable decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. The pipeline transport volume is expected to decline each year by approximately 3.26% in 2025, 3.26% in 2026, 3.26% in 2027, and 3.38% in 2028. Over the entire forecast period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is -2.71%, indicating a consistent shrinkage of the transport volumes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Advancements and investments in alternative energy transportation methods could accelerate the decline in pipeline usage.
- Regulatory changes or environmental policies might impact the pipeline sector significantly.
- Surges in demand for specific resources transported via pipelines could alter the current downward trajectory.
