Read this before using this figure. Countries classify gas companies differently between network operators (this industry) and companies that sell gas to customers (a separate industry). The country figures on this page vary for that reason and aren't directly comparable.

Notes on these figures

  • Eurostat's current business statistics start in 2021; earlier years are on a different basis and aren't shown.
  • No official 2025 turnover growth is published for this industry or its wider industry in Italy.
  • UK figures are ONS 'total turnover'; other countries show Eurostat 'net turnover'. The measures are close but not identical, so compare with care.
