Based on the forecast data, Japan's gas consumption is expected to decline steadily from 3.49 Exajoules in 2024 to 3.3 Exajoules in 2028. In 2023, this consumption stood at an actual value higher than the initial forecast of 3.49 Exajoules in 2024. The year-on-year decline is consistently observed through subsequent years, reflecting an average decrease over the forecast period. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a downward trend in gas consumption, averaging a decline per year over five years.
Future trends to watch for include increased investments in renewable energy sources, development of energy-efficient technologies, and potential changes in government energy policies, all of which could impact gas consumption levels in Japan.
