The wastewater generated by the construction sector in Denmark has varied significantly over the past decade, showing initial growth followed by a decline and stabilization. In 2023, the volume stood at 560.0 thousand cubic meters. Most notably, the years 2013 and 2014 experienced substantial growth compared to previous years with year-on-year increases of 17.31% and 54.1%, respectively. Following this, there was a period of decline and fluctuations, with the volume decreasing in key years like 2017 (-14.47%) and 2018 (-20%). Over the last five years (2018-2023), the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was approximately 1.49%.
Looking ahead, from 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data indicates a minor CAGR of 0.35% with a total forecasted growth rate of 1.79%. This suggests that the wastewater volume is expected to stabilize around 570.0 thousand cubic meters.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential regulatory changes focused on water usage and wastewater management in the construction sector.
- Adoption of new construction technologies and practices aimed at reducing water consumption.
- Impact of broader economic activities and construction industry dynamics on wastewater generation volumes.
