In 2023, the United Kingdom led the European Wood and Wood Products sector in gas oil and diesel oil consumption, showing a slight increase of 2.48% from the previous year. Conversely, Ukraine recorded the most significant decline at 9.72%. Noteworthy increases were seen in Estonia (16.5%) and Bulgaria (17.41%), while Luxembourg and Cyprus also experienced rapid growth. On a longer-term basis, consistent growth is noted in smaller markets like Macedonia, while established markets such as France and Germany face slight contractions.
Looking forward, the sector may be influenced by increasing environmental regulations and technological advancements, driving further shifts towards energy efficiency and potential restructuring in consumption patterns across different European countries.
