In 2024, the forecasted non-renewable municipal waste final consumption in the UK's non-metallic minerals sector begins at 79.51 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, increasing yearly to 93.54 by 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a steady upward trend in consumption, showing a robust year-on-year growth rate. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates sustained demand expansion.
Future trends to monitor include advancements in recycling technologies and stricter regulatory frameworks that may impact the sector's reliance on non-renewable waste. Additionally, unexpected fluctuations in raw material availability could further affect these projections.
