The coking coal gross inland consumption in Germany is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. This downward trend reflects a year-on-year decrease in consumption: 10.7% from 2024 to 2025, 11.96% from 2025 to 2026, 13.4% from 2026 to 2027, and 15.23% from 2027 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period, which highlights the average annual change, demonstrates a significant reduction.

In 2023, the actual consumption was higher than the forecasted figures for 2024 onwards, indicating a strong shift in Germany's energy consumption patterns moving forward.

Future trends to watch include:

Continued emphasis on renewable energy sources might further impact coking coal demand.
Regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions could accelerate this decline.
Technological advancements in energy efficiency could further decrease reliance on coking coal.
