The public water supply to the manufacturing sector in Germany has seen fluctuations over the past decade, declining from 418.05 million cubic meters in 2013 to 333.59 million cubic meters in 2023. This represents a significant downward trend with some minor recoveries, notably in 2017 and 2022. Year-on-year variations show a consistent pattern of modest declines and slight rebounds, with a CAGR of -0.62% observed over the past five years.

By examining the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028, the public water supply is expected to continue its downward trajectory, albeit at a diminishing rate, with a forecasted five-year CAGR of -0.24%. This suggests a slower pace of decline compared to the previous five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Environmental regulations and policies aimed at water conservation.
Technological advancements in manufacturing that could reduce water consumption.
Economic factors influencing the manufacturing sector's overall demand.
Shifts in manufacturing practices towards more sustainable methods.
