In 2023, the UK's construction sector consumed 2.90 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in solid fossil fuels. The forecasted data shows a steady decline in this consumption from 2024's 2.86 to 2028's 2.68. Year-on-year percentages mirror a consistent decrease: -1.75% in 2025, -1.42% in 2026, -1.80% in 2027, and -1.47% in 2028. The overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -1.55%, illustrating a clear downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include a pivot towards renewable energy sources, propelled by regulatory pressures and sustainability goals. Enhancing technology adoption in construction could further reduce reliance on solid fossil fuels.
