The number of aluminium enterprises in Germany is forecasted to decline steadily from 175 in 2024 to 159 in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.3%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is expected to be around -2.4%.

The decreasing trend suggests multiple influences including potential market saturations, regulatory changes, or shifts towards alternative materials. As these factors continue to play out, it's important to monitor:

Impact of EU's environmental regulations on the aluminium industry’s footprint.
Technological advancements that could affect operational efficiencies.
Global economic conditions influencing demand and investments in aluminium enterprises.
