The final consumption of brown coal briquettes in the non-ferrous metals sector in Germany remained stable from 2024 to 2025, at 270 metric tons. However, a decrease is forecasted in 2026, with consumption dropping to 260 metric tons and stabilizing at this level through 2028. Compared to 2023's actual data, the forecast suggests a slight downward trend post-2025, marking a negative shift in year-on-year consumption growth.
- From 2026 onward, the consumption decreases by approximately 3.7% compared to the preceding constant period of 2024-2025.
- The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 illustrates a stabilization followed by mild contraction.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of sustainability initiatives and regulatory changes on briquette consumption, as well as potential technological advancements in non-ferrous metal production that might further reduce reliance on brown coal briquettes.
