France leads the European Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) gross inland consumption with 2.71 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2024, followed by Poland at 2.55 Mtoe and Ukraine at 2.26 Mtoe. Italy and Belgium also show significant consumption at 2.22 and 1.6 Mtoe, respectively. Notably, the United Kingdom and Ireland both have relatively low consumption figures, with the United Kingdom at 0.15112 Mtoe and Ireland at 0.13604 Mtoe. Norway exhibits a substantial negative value of -5.9 Mtoe, indicating a drastic reduction or possible export surplus. Notable year-on-year variations include growth in France (3.41%) and Poland (2.86%), while Italy faced a slight decline (-0.55%).
Future trends to watch include the impact of energy transition policies, potential changes in LPG distribution and consumption patterns, and macroeconomic factors influencing demand in major consuming countries. Specific attention should be given to the growth in emerging markets and sustainability initiatives that could affect LPG's role in the energy mix. Monitoring these trends will provide insights into shifting dynamics and the strategic direction of LPG consumption in Europe.
