In 2023, the consumption of renewables and biofuels in Germany's non-metallic minerals sector stood lower than the forecasted values for 2024 onwards. The forecast for 2024 indicates a consumption of 21.96 thousand terajoules, with a slight increase projected for 2025 to 2028, maintaining a steady consumption value of 21.97 thousand terajoules. This indicates a negligible year-on-year growth, highlighting a period of stability with minimal variation. Given the constancy in these projections, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years suggests virtually no change, pointing towards a plateau in renewable consumption trends.
Future trends to watch for include innovations in renewable technologies, potential policy changes, or increased market pressures for sustainability that could disrupt this stability and drive higher adoption rates. Additionally, geopolitical shifts and energy policy developments in Germany and the EU may influence future consumption patterns in the sector.
