The forecast for the final consumption of heat in Germany's chemical and petrochemical sector indicates a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 2.66 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, the value incrementally rises each year, reaching 2.84 million tonnes by 2028. This consistent growth reflects an annual increase basing on early forecasts and aligns with the sector's gradual increase in heat consumption as part of expanding industrial activities. In terms of year-on-year analysis, this shows modest growth.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of Germany's transition towards greener energy resources and efficiency improvements within the industrial processes. These factors could moderate the growth pace, as the chemical and petrochemical sector adjusts strategies aligned with environmental regulations and market demands.
