The forecasted domestic material consumption of metals in Germany sees a steady incremental trend from 2024 to 2028, with the value rising from 6.5 to 6.8 kilograms per capita. This indicates a modest growth trajectory annually. Year-on-year variations show stable progress, with marginal increments each year.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in recycling and resource efficiency could influence material consumption dynamics.
The ongoing transition towards renewable energy and electric vehicles may impact metal demand patterns.
Global supply chain disruptions and geopolitical factors could introduce volatility in material availability and cost.
Regulatory changes and sustainability goals may further drive shifts towards alternative materials or recycled content.
