The operated pipelines length in Germany remained stable from 2013 to 2021 at 2.37 thousand kilometers. A slight increase emerged in 2022 and 2023, reaching 2.38 and 2.39 thousand kilometers respectively. The forecast anticipates continual, modest growth, with the length expected to reach 2.42 thousand kilometers by 2028, marking a 0.24% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 and an overall growth of 1.21% over the period. Notably, year-on-year variation was 0.34% in 2022 and 0.29% in 2023.
The pipeline sector demonstrates stable growth, yet future trends to watch for include investments in green energy infrastructure, regulatory changes, and technological advancements which might influence further expansions or efficiency improvements in operated pipeline networks.
