In 2023, Portugal led European textile and leather sectors in natural gas consumption, followed closely by Germany and Italy. The last year saw notable shifts: Ireland's consumption surged by almost 45%, while the Czech Republic and Serbia observed significant increases over 12%. Conversely, the UK, France, and Spain recorded decreases, with the UK down by over 6%. Over a five-year period, countries like Portugal and Romania enjoyed consistent growth, reflecting a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of natural gas consumption in these regions.
Future trends suggest a focus on sustainability and efficiency in energy use. This might drive innovation in alternative energy sources, reducing dependency on natural gas. The sector's response to regulatory changes and technological advancements in energy efficiency will be pivotal in shaping its future energy consumption landscape.
