The forecast for fuel oil final consumption in the UK construction sector from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend. Starting from 186.74 GWh in 2024, the consumption is expected to rise to 198.62 GWh by 2028. This indicates a steady average annual growth rate, suggesting confidence in the construction sector's reliance on fuel oil for energy.

Year-on-year variations highlight incremental growth: 2025 and 2026 both see slight rises, with a slightly higher growth observed in subsequent years, maintaining a stable increase.

Looking forward, several trends warrant attention:

Potential developments in fuel-efficient technologies in construction equipment may influence future consumption patterns.
Regulatory changes towards sustainable energy in construction could impact long-term demand for fuel oil.
Market shifts towards renewable energy sources due to climate policies could alter these forecasts significantly.
