The forecast for gas oil and diesel oil consumption in the UK's textile and leather sector shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 417.25 GWh and dropping to 373.88 GWh. The year-on-year variation is approximately a 2.7% decrease annually. In 2023, consumption stood at around 428.67 GWh, indicating a declining trend in the consumption of these fossil fuels.

Future trends to watch include:

The potential impact of increasing environmental regulations and the UK's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, which may further curtail fossil fuel usage.
Advancements in technology and shifts towards renewable energy sources within the textile and leather sectors, potentially accelerating this downward trend.
Market adaptation in response to consumer and regulatory pressure for more sustainable practices may influence energy consumption patterns.
