The Direct Material Input of Non-Metallic Minerals in Finland is projected to decline gradually from 90.67 million metric tons in 2024 to 86.38 million metric tons by 2028. This indicates a downward trend over the forecast period. The actual figures for 2023 stood at 91.80 million metric tons, showing a relative stability in the short term but a clear forecasted reduction at an average annual rate. The year-on-year variation observed between 2024 and 2025 is -1.21%, between 2025 and 2026 is -1.22%, between 2026 and 2027 is -1.20%, and between 2027 and 2028 is -1.19%. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years is approximately -1.2%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of policy changes towards sustainable materials, advancements in recycling technologies, and shifts in industry demand driven by economic conditions and infrastructure projects. Monitoring these factors could provide valuable insights into the stability and potential shifts in the demand for non-metallic minerals in the longer term.
