In 2023, China's natural gas consumption in the manufacture of paper and paper products stood at the baseline level before beginning its forecasted increase. By 2028, consumption is expected to reach 30.33 hundred million cubic meters. The year-on-year growth rate is approximately 3.8% from 2024 to 2028, indicating a consistent upward trend. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected at around 3.6%, reflecting steady, moderate expansion in natural gas consumption in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in paper manufacturing, which could influence gas efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, policy changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions might affect future consumption patterns, emphasizing the need for renewable energy sources.
