The consumption of brown coal briquettes in the non-metallic minerals sector in Germany is projected to experience slight growth from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.08 Million Tonnes Of Oil Equivalent (MTOE) in 2024, this figure is expected to rise steadily, reaching 1.1 MTOE by 2027 and maintaining that level into 2028. The forecasted growth is minimal, highlighting a stable yet modest increase in demand.

Future trends to watch for include:

Regulatory changes and energy policy shifts towards more sustainable fuel sources which could impact the demand for brown coal briquettes.
Technological advancements in non-metallic minerals that might decrease reliance on traditional energy sources like brown coal.
Market dynamics such as fluctuations in coal price which could influence consumption levels.
