The forecast for Germany's slate domestic extraction indicates a significant decrease from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, extraction is predicted to be 10.0 thousand metric tons, declining annually to 2.16 thousand metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year variations show a consistent negative trend, with the most considerable percentage declines expected in the final years of the forecasted period. This decline represents a major contraction in the domestic slate sector over these five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of alternative materials gaining market share.
Influence of regulatory changes on mining practices.
Evolving construction industry demands in response to a shift toward sustainable building materials.
Global economic conditions affecting market dynamics and resource investment.
