In 2023, the consumption of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) in the German wood and wood products sector was recorded at an actual value which is declining in a forecasted pattern. From 2024 to 2028, the LPG consumption is expected to decrease significantly, with values forecasted at 33.77 terajoules in 2024 down to 23 terajoules in 2028, indicating a sharp negative trend. Year-on-year percentage variations show a decline, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting an overall 8% average annual reduction over these five years, highlighting a clear downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in energy efficiency within the wood sector, a potentially higher shift toward renewable energy sources, and changes in regulatory policies aimed at reducing carbon footprints that may further influence LPG use. Monitoring these elements will be critical for anticipating changes in energy consumption patterns in the market.
