In 2023, the final consumption of liquefied petroleum gases in Germany's commercial and public services sector was at a certain level. Forecasts for the years 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline in consumption, with values projected to decrease each year. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, the consumption is expected to decrease by 3.4%, followed by a 3.3% decrease in 2026, a 3.2% decrease in 2027, and a 3.2% decrease in 2028. Over the entire five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent negative trend, emphasizing a reduction in demand.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in energy regulations, advancements in energy efficiency technologies, and shifts towards alternative energy sources. These factors could further influence the LPG consumption trajectory in the commercial and public services sector.
