The exports of brown coal briquettes from Germany are forecasted to decrease gradually from 1.2 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.16 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year changes show a consistent decrease of approximately 0.01 million metric tons each year. For context, this series began at a similar level in 2023. This represents a slow but steady decline as shown by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period, which is trending downward.

Future trends to watch:

Global shifts towards renewable energy might further impact demand for coal briquettes.
Regulatory changes in the European Union aimed at reducing coal consumption may accelerate this decline.
Technological advancements could either mitigate or exacerbate these trends depending on developments in clean coal technologies.
