In 2023, Germany's final consumption of anthracite in the food, beverages, and tobacco sectors stood lower than the forecasted 2024 value of 16.9 Gigawatthours. From 2024 to 2028, the consumption is expected to grow steadily, with year-on-year variations signaling an upward trend. The projected annual growth rates over this period are consistent, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting robust demand and gradual increases in consumption.

Future trends to watch for:

The impact of sustainability initiatives and decarbonization efforts on anthracite usage.
Technological advancements potentially leading to increased efficiency and reduced dependency.
Market dynamics influencing supply chains and raw material accessibility.
