The forecast for non-renewable municipal waste final consumption in Germany's non-metallic minerals sector indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values projected to rise from 399.97 to 442.35 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. This represents an average annual growth rate of approximately 2% over the five-year period. If we consider a similar trend had been observed in the prior years leading up to 2023, the projected trajectory suggests ongoing reliance on non-renewable municipal waste in the sector.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential policy shifts towards sustainability and increased recycling, which could impact consumption patterns.
- Technological advancements that may improve the efficiency of waste utilization.
- Economic fluctuations affecting the demand within the non-metallic minerals sector.
