The domestic material consumption of hard coal in Germany is forecasted to decrease moderately from 0.46 metric tons per capita in 2024 to 0.43 metric tons per capita in 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a consistent decline of around 2.2% annually from 2026 onwards. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately -1.75%, signifying a steady downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of Germany's energy transition policies, increased investment in renewable energy, and global shifts in coal demand. Continued focus on sustainability could further accelerate the decline in coal consumption.
