The forecast for lubricants consumption in international maritime bunkers in France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 9.65 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, the consumption is expected to decrease steadily each year, reaching 6.44 by 2028. The year-on-year variation highlights consistent declines with an average annual decrease, driven primarily by shifts towards more sustainable and efficient maritime transportation methods as well as stricter environmental regulations.

Future trends to watch for include:

The transition to alternative energy sources and their impact on lubricant consumption.
Technological innovations in marine engine efficiency.
Regulatory changes affecting maritime fuel standards and their influence on lubricant demand.
