In 2023, the domestic extraction of non-metallic minerals in Germany was approximately consistent with the figures forecasted for the following years. From 2024 to 2028, a gradual decrease in the volume of extraction is expected. The average change per year, calculated as CAGR over the next five years, is slightly negative, indicating a slow but steady decline. This trend mirrors minimal year-on-year percentage declines, suggesting possible saturation or shifts towards alternative materials or methods.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in material science potentially reducing the need for traditional non-metallic minerals.
Environmental policies that could impact extraction activities and encourage recycling and reuse.
Market demands influenced by sustainable construction practices and green technologies.
