In 2023, the fossil energy final consumption in Germany's textile and leather sector stood at approximately 11.58 thousand terajoules. Forecasts from 2024 onward show a consistent annual decline in consumption:
- 2023 to 2024: -7.7%
- 2024 to 2025: -8.3%
- 2025 to 2026: -8.9%
- 2026 to 2027: -9.7%
- 2027 to 2028: -10.5%
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period is -8.84%.
The downward trend reflects increased efficiency, possible energy shifts to renewables, or industry shrinkage. Future trends to watch include advancements in sustainable practices, regulatory changes promoting green energy, and technological innovations in textile production that could further impact fossil energy dependence.
