The forecast of land transport fuel imports to Germany from 2024 to 2028 suggests a slight and gradual decrease. In 2024, 2025, and 2026, imports are steady at 0.034 metric tons per capita, before slightly declining to 0.033 metric tons per capita in 2027 and 2028. These figures represent the forecasted data starting in 2024. As of 2023, actual data indicated that imports were hovering around similar figures. Year-on-year variation between 2026 to 2027 marks a decline of approximately 2.94%, indicating a slow but consistent downtrend over this period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of Germany's ongoing commitments to carbon neutrality and the resulting shifts from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, potentially accelerating the downtrend.
- Technological advancements in vehicle efficiency which may further reduce fuel imports.
- Economic fluctuations and geopolitical factors which could lead to volatility in fuel imports.
