The number of researchers in the manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, as well as casting of non-ferrous metals in Germany, is projected to incrementally grow from 810 in 2024 to 851 in 2028. Assuming a consistent upward trend, the year-on-year growth rate between 2024 and 2028 hovers around 1.3% to 1.2% annually. This moderate and steady increase suggests a stable interest and investment in R&D within this sector.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential technological advancements and digitalization driving a need for additional researchers.
- Shifts in global and European regulations impacting research demands.
- Impact of sustainable practices and recycling initiatives in the metals industry on researcher engagement.
