The forecast for Germany's motor gasoline imports (excluding the biofuel portion) shows a steady decline from 2.66 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 2.0 million tonnes by 2028. Compared to a higher baseline in 2023, this indicates a consistent contraction in annual import volumes, reflecting a transition possibly due to increased energy efficiencies or a shift towards alternative energy sources. Year-on-year variations show a decline with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -6.92% over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Germany's policy shift towards greener energy and increased biofuel use, which could further impact gasoline imports.
- Technological advancements in transportation and renewable energy infrastructure, potentially reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Economic factors and geopolitical events affecting crude oil prices and trade routes, impacting import dynamics.
