The non-ferrous metals sector in Germany is forecast to experience a gradual increase in its final consumption of heat from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 24.67 to 25.12 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Compared to previous years, the sector's consumption has been stable but with slight increments indicating a consistent growth trajectory. The year-on-year changes from 2024 onwards show minimal percentage variations, showcasing a moderate but continuous upward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years points to steady incremental growth, affirming the sector's resilience and slight expansion.
Future trends to watch for in the non-ferrous metals sector include:
- Technological advancements that may improve energy efficiency, potentially affecting heat consumption levels.
- Policy changes related to energy and emissions, which could drive shifts in consumption patterns.
- Market dynamics and demand fluctuations in non-ferrous metals which might influence production processes and energy needs.
