In 2023, the self-water supply to industry and households in Germany stood at 12.54 billion cubic meters. A continuous decline is projected from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a steady decrease of approximately 5.29% in 2024, diminishing further by an average of around 5.52% annually until 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) forecasts a contraction, indicative of declining self-water supply reliance.
Future trends to monitor include technological innovations in water efficiency, shifts toward sustainable industrial practices, and regulatory changes that could impact water resource management in the context of environmental sustainability and climate change adaptation.
