Based on the provided data, the forecasted domestic material consumption of non-metallic minerals in Spain is set to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. The metric tons per capita are expected to decrease slightly from 4.16 in 2024 to 4.13 in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year percentage decline, ranging from approximately 0.24% from 2024 to 2025, 0.24% from 2025 to 2026, no change from 2026 to 2027, and another 0.24% decline from 2027 to 2028. This steady decline over the five-year period results in a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) that is negative.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes affecting the construction sector, technological advancements in material efficiency, and broader economic factors that could influence the demand for non-metallic minerals. Additionally, sustainability initiatives and environmental regulations may shift consumption patterns significantly.
