In 2023, France imported a significant volume of industrial gases, setting a baseline for the forecasted period. From 2024 to 2028, there is a clear declining trend in the imports of industrial gases, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) showing a steady decrease in volume. The year-on-year variations indicate a consistent reduction, highlighting an ongoing decrease in demand or a potential increase in domestic production capabilities.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in domestic gas production, changes in environmental regulations, or shifts in industrial demand that could impact the import volumes. These factors may either exacerbate or stabilize the decline in imports.
