In 2023, the natural gas final consumption in Germany's textile and leather sector stood at approximately 207 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a continuous decline, with annual values dropping from 202.99 in 2024 to 183.31 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of about 2.5% each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period is projected to be around -2.5%, indicating a steady reduction in natural gas consumption over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Efforts in energy efficiency may further reduce natural gas consumption.
- Transition towards renewable energy sources could accelerate this decline.
- Economic factors or regulatory changes might impact consumption patterns.
