In 2023, the public water supply to the agriculture, forestry, and seafood sectors in Germany stood at 20.86 million cubic meters. The year-on-year increase from 2022 to 2023 was 5.04%, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years was 6.83%. From 2013 to 2023, the trend exhibited strong initial growth, peaking at a CAGR of 44.66% in 2015 before gradually declining to single digits by 2023.
Future trends to watch for:
• The forecasted 5-year CAGR from 2024 to 2028 of 3.52% suggests steady but slower growth.• A focus on sustainability and water efficiency practices in agriculture may influence future water supply needs.• Climate change impact on water resources and agricultural demand could result in significant variability in public water supply requirements.• Innovations in water recycling and conservation technologies could play a critical role in managing the supply efficiently.
