The forecast of gas oil and diesel oil consumption by the wood and wood products sector in Germany shows a clear downtrend from 2024 to 2028. Expected consumption decreases from 505.29 Terajoules in 2024 to 489.78 Terajoules by 2028. In 2023, the actual consumption level was slightly above these forecasts, indicating a gradual reduction in usage.

Year-on-year variation reflects a consistent yet modest decline, suggesting an evident trend towards reduced reliance on these fossil fuels. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this five-year period predicts a continued decrease, aligning with broader environmental directives and efficiency improvements.

Future trends to watch for:

Adoption of alternative energy sources as regulatory pressures for decarbonization increase.
Technological advancements in production processes reducing diesel oil dependency.
Potential shifts in market dynamics or policies affecting energy consumption.
