The forecast for Germany's construction sector shows a gradual increase in the final consumption of natural gas from 2024 to 2028. The consumption grows from 7.68 thousand GWh in 2024 to 8.55 thousand GWh in 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 2.7% to 2.8%, showcasing a steady trend. With the data pointing to a compound annual growth rate over the five-year period of approximately 2.7%, the sector reflects a stable demand increase.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of energy efficiency improvements and shifts to alternative energy sources. These could alter the natural gas consumption trajectory. Additionally, government policies on sustainability and carbon emissions might influence future consumption patterns in the construction sector.
