The direct material input of biomass for food and feed in Germany reflects a steady yet slight decline from 2023 to 2028. Starting from a hypothetical 2023 baseline, the year-on-year reductions highlight a subtle downward trend: a minor reduction from 2024 onwards, with each year seeing a less than 1% decrease. Over the five-year period, the compounded annual growth rate indicates a consistent annual contraction, though minimal.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of technological advancements in agricultural efficiencies, potentially offsetting biomass demand.
Policy changes in sustainability and renewable energy that could alter biomass input dynamics.
Fluctuations in demand for organic and eco-friendly products, possibly influencing biomass needs.
