In 2023, Germany's inland consumption of coking coal stood at a calculated 10.2 million metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a consistent decline, from 9.4 million metric tons in 2024 to 6.37 million metric tons in 2028. This indicates a year-on-year decrease, with a notable contraction in demand. Calculating the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects an average annual decrease.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in Germany's energy policy and industrial strategies that may further impact coal consumption.
Technological advancements in steelmaking that may reduce reliance on coking coal.
Increasing regulatory pressures towards sustainable energy sources.
Possible changes in the global coking coal market influencing prices and availability.
