In 2023, the wood fuel direct material input in the UK stood at a baseline value of 0.032 metric tons per capita. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady and slight increase each year, with an expected annual growth of approximately 3% year-on-year. This consistent upward trend reflects an increasing reliance on wood fuel as a resource.

Future trends to watch for include:

Pace of adoption of renewable energy sources that might influence wood fuel demand.
Impact of government policies on sustainable forestry and biomass usage.
Technological advancements in wood fuel efficiency and processing.
