The final consumption of natural gas in Germany's wood and wood products sector shows a gradual decrease from 2024 to 2028, with values declining from 1.33 to 1.29 thousand gigawatt-hours. This consistent downward trend reflects a possible shift towards alternative energy sources or increased energy efficiency within the sector. Comparing to 2023, further analysis would be required to identify specific factors impacting this decline.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of Germany's energy transition policies on industrial energy consumption.
Development of new technologies or materials reducing dependence on natural gas.
Global market and economic factors affecting production and consumption patterns.
