In 2023, Italy led Europe in the consumption of Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) by households, followed by Germany and France. However, both Germany and France exhibited a decline in consumption compared to 2022, with Germany decreasing by 1.05% and France by 1.79%. Spain, the fourth-largest consumer, experienced the most significant drop at 6.97%. In contrast, smaller markets like Belgium, Albania, and Greece saw increases in their LPG household consumption, with Belgium at 1.3%, Albania at 2.97%, and Greece at 5.05%. Notable declines were observed in Hungary, Moldova, and Luxembourg, with Luxembourg showing the sharpest decrease at 17.34%.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of heightened environmental regulations and shifts towards more sustainable energy sources like electricity and natural gas. Also, the evolution of energy prices and subsidies in each country will likely influence household consumption patterns of LPG. Monitoring these factors will provide insights into how the LPG market might adjust in the coming years.
