In 2023, natural gas consumption in the UK construction sector was a key metric for the industry. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 show a steady increase in consumption, with projections rising from 5.07 thousand gigawatthours in 2024 to 5.58 thousand gigawatthours in 2028. The year-on-year growth indicates moderate but consistent expansion, reflecting a growing reliance on natural gas within the sector. This trend is complemented by an anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period.
Looking forward, several future trends should be monitored:
- Policy changes related to energy efficiency and emissions.
- Technological advancements in construction that may alter energy consumption patterns.
- Volatility in natural gas supply and pricing, potentially affecting consumption levels.
