Between 2024 and 2028, the forecasted final consumption of heat in the German textile and leather sector shows a slight, consistent decline, with values decreasing annually from 15.84 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent to 15.8. This marks an average year-on-year decrease of just under 0.06%. Given that in 2023 the sector's consumption stood slightly higher, this decrease indicates a stable contraction over the years. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period reflects this gradual decline.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in energy efficiency, regulatory changes impacting energy use, and shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable materials, which could further influence consumption patterns in this sector.
