The forecast for metal ores direct material inputs in Germany from 2024 to 2028 shows stability, with the per capita metric tons increasing marginally from 1.49 in 2024 to a steady 1.5 from 2025 onwards. This consistent value indicates minimal expected year-on-year change, reflecting a stable demand and supply scenario for metal ores in Germany in the medium term.

The year 2023 saw slightly lower values than expected in 2024, suggesting a slight increase entering 2024. As we look further into the future, key trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in mining and recycling practices that might impact material efficiency and input levels.
Potential shifts in industry demand driven by changes in manufacturing and export activities.
Environmental policies and regulatory changes could also influence metal ore inputs.
