In 2023, non-renewable industrial waste final consumption in Germany stood at a recorded level prior to the forecasted increase from 2024 onwards. The projected data indicates a gradual annual rise in consumption, with values moving from 727.76 to 769.14 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth ranging from approximately 1.45% to 1.79% over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest average increase annually despite the general focus on transitioning toward renewable and sustainable practices.
Future trends to observe include:
- The impact of environmental regulations pushing industries towards reduced dependency on non-renewable resources.
- Technological innovations in waste recycling and resource efficiency potentially altering consumption patterns.
- Economic variables, such as industrial growth rate and global commodity prices, possibly influencing the consumption trajectory.
