The final consumption of gas oil and diesel oil in agriculture and forestry in Germany is expected to show a steady increase from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the consumption stood at a slightly lower value than the forecast for 2024. Year-on-year growth rates are projected to rise consistently: 4.50% in 2025, 4.27% in 2026, 4.05% in 2027, and 3.85% in 2028. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exhibits a stable upward trajectory, reflecting improved energy use efficiency and possibly increased mechanization in agriculture and forestry.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in agricultural machinery may influence oil consumption patterns.
- Environmental policies could drive shifts toward more sustainable energy sources, affecting diesel and gas oil usage.
- Economic factors, including oil prices and subsidies, will play a crucial role in determining consumption rates.
