As of 2023, France's oil consumption was recorded at an approximate value that provides a base for comparison. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline in oil consumption, moving from 2.89 EJ in 2024 to 2.86 EJ in 2028. The year-on-year variation is minimal, implying a gradual reduction with less than a 0.5% decrease annually during this period. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) similarly reflects a slight downward trajectory in oil use. This forecast illustrates a trend towards decreased reliance on oil, consistently aligning with global energy transition goals.
Future trends to watch include the potential influence of renewable energy adoption, government policy shifts towards sustainable energy, and technological advancements in energy efficiency. These factors could further drive reductions in oil consumption and impact France's energy landscape.
