Industrial Gas Energy Trends 2025: What HORECA & Manufacturing Should Prepare for

Energy is not just a cost, but a strategy

For HORECA and manufacturing businesses, energy-especially gas-is the primary fuel. But by 2025, energy demand is expected to rise dramatically as the food, beverage and hospitality sectors grow.

CEOs and business owners can no longer just see gas as a "routine expense". It must be considered as a competitive strategy: who can secure supply & energy efficiency can win in the market.

2025 Energy Demand Data & Trends

1. Growth of the HORECA Sector
   • According to BPS data, the number of restaurants & cafes is increasing by an average of 8-10% per year.
   • Mass kitchens & event catering are on the rise.
2. F&B Manufacturing
   • The food and beverage industry grew 7.5% in 2024 and is projected to rise even higher in 2025.
   • The demand for gas for production automatically increases.
3. Switch from Subsidized to Non-Subsidized
   • Subsidized gas is increasingly regulated.
   • Businesses inevitably switch to non-subsidized & bulk LPG.

Energy Challenges in 2025

• Global prices are volatile → production costs can rise suddenly.
• Inconsistent supply → many vendors do not have reliable logistics.
• Regulatory pressure → ISO, SNI, K3 audits are getting tougher.
• Environmental awareness → green energy trends are starting to make their way into HORECA.

What Businesses Can Do

1. Secure long-term supply contracts
   → avoid price fluctuations.
2. Use vendors with emergency delivery
   → prevent urgent downtime.
3. Internal energy audit
   → make sure there is no waste.
4. Energy diversification
   → start considering hybrid: gas + electricity/alternative energy.

Insights for CEOs & Owners

• Create an energy roadmap → don't wait for prices to rise first.
• Look at consumer trends → premium restaurants are starting to care about sustainability.
• Compliance is a selling point → big clients only want vendors/manufacturers that comply with regulations.

Case Study: Hotel & Factory

• Bali's 5-star hotels started a 3-year bulk non-subsidized gas contract → stable, not subject to seasonal fluctuations.
• Soft drink manufacturer lowers energy costs 18% with transparent gas consumption audit + new vendor.

Conclusion

2025 is not just about surviving with gas supply, but who can manage energy efficiently & comply with standards.
HORECA and manufacturers who are serious about managing their energy supply will be more competitive, safer, and more trusted by clients.
