The forecast for natural gas final consumption in the non-ferrous metal sector in Germany shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The projected consumption grows from 37.19 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 39.34 thousand terajoules in 2028. This indicates a consistent upward trajectory after likely moderate growth from the preceding years. In 2023, actual consumption provided a baseline, although specific figures are not available here for comparative analysis.

Year-on-year growth is visible, with each subsequent year seeing a gradual increase. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five forecasted years illustrates sustained positive growth trends in the sector.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in energy policy or regulations impacting natural gas consumption.
Technological advancements increasing efficiency in non-ferrous metal production, potentially altering consumption rates.
Global market dynamics affecting resource availability and pricing.
