In 2023, the gross inland consumption of additives and oxygenates (excluding biofuel portion) in Germany stood at 1.13 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline in consumption, decreasing to 1.10 million tonnes by 2028. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 is 0%, and from 2025 to 2026 and subsequent years, slight decreases of approximately 0.9% annually. Over a five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects an average decline, indicating a saturated or weakening market.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased regulatory pressure could further push down usage.
Emerging technologies and energy efficiency improvements may gradually reduce dependencies on these additives.
Potential substitution with biofuels could alter demand dynamics significantly.
