In 2024, the forecasted consumption of Gas Oil and Diesel Oil in International Maritime Bunkers in France is 8.78 Thousand Terajoules, showing a consistent increase in demand projected to reach 9.14 Thousand Terajoules by 2028. From 2023 to 2024, a slight but steady growth trajectory begins, with an average annual increase (CAGR) of approximately 1.0% over the five-year period. This reflects a gradual increase in maritime fuel consumption, aligning with general trends of global maritime trade expansion and corresponding fuel demand.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Environmental regulations impacting fuel choices in the maritime industry, prompting shifts to alternative fuels or enhanced efficiency measures.
- Technological advancements in ship design and propulsion technology reducing the reliance on traditional diesel oil.
- Fluctuations in global economic conditions and their impact on international trade volumes affecting bunker fuel consumption.
