The UK's natural gas imports are projected to steadily rise from 2024 to 2028, with volumes increasing from 44.18 to 47.13 Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent. This represents a gradual year-on-year growth: 1.72% in 2025, 1.67% in 2026, 1.60% in 2027, and 1.53% in 2028. These figures reflect a consistent, albeit slight, upward trend as the country moves towards the latter part of the decade, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.63%.
Future trends to look out for include:
- Potential shifts in global gas markets affecting UK import volumes.
- Impact of UK energy policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
- Technological advances in energy efficiency and alternative energy sources.
- Geopolitical influences and their effects on natural gas supply chains.
