The dry bulk carriers in France are projected to grow steadily from 2024 through 2028. In 2024, the expected gross tonnage is 56.68 million, increasing to 67.33 million by 2028. This reflects an average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period. The year-on-year growth percentages indicate a consistent upward trend in the fleet size, driven by increased demand in bulk shipping and the modernization of the fleet. In 2023, the dry bulk carriers' tonnage was lower, marking the beginning of this anticipated growth trajectory.

Future trends to watch include:

Technological advancements in shipbuilding enhancing fuel efficiency and performance.
Shifts in global trade patterns influencing demand for bulk carriers.
Environmental regulations impacting fleet operations and sustainability practices.
