In 2024, the final consumption of natural gas in Germany's machinery sector is forecasted to be 71.8 thousand terajoules. From 2025 to 2028, a gradual decline is anticipated, reaching 70.48 thousand terajoules, reflecting a persistent downward trend. Year-on-year variations show a consistent decrease of about 0.5% annually, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicating a reduction of approximately 0.46% per year. In 2023, consumption stood at 72.12 thousand terajoules. The ongoing decline suggests growing efficiencies and potential shifts to alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch for include further energy efficiency improvements, adoption of renewable energy technologies, and regulatory changes promoting cleaner energy usage. These factors could further accelerate the reduction in natural gas consumption within the sector.
