The final consumption of Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors in Germany shows a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028, with values starting at 1.67 in 2024 and declining to 1.46 by 2028. Notably, the consumption in 2023 was higher, reflecting a contraction in demand. Year-on-year, the consumption is expected to decrease by approximately 4.2% by 2025 and 2.6% by 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average yearly consumption decline of about 3.3% over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increased adoption of renewable energy sources, potentially further decreasing LPG demand.
- Technological advancements in paper and pulp production, which may improve energy efficiency and reduce reliance on LPG.
- Policy changes aimed at carbon footprint reduction that could impact LPG consumption trends.
