The number of employees in the UK's wholesale sector for solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels and related products is expected to see a modest increase over the next five years, from 20.69 thousand in 2024 to 20.74 thousand in 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth of approximately 0.1% annually from 2024 to 2028. Compared to the 2023 level, these projections suggest stability with only slight growth in employment.
Looking ahead, the sector's employment situation may be influenced by factors such as advancements in sustainable fuel technologies, regulatory changes due to environmental policies, and the overall economic climate in the UK. Monitoring these developments will be crucial for understanding potential impacts on workforce dynamics within this industry.
