The consumption of non-renewable industrial waste in Germany's non-ferrous metals sector is forecasted to increase steadily from 257 terajoules in 2024 to 277 terajoules in 2028. This forecast represents a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 1.9%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is anticipated to be 1.9% as well.
Key future trends to watch for include advancements in recycling technologies and regulatory changes aimed at reducing industrial waste. These factors could significantly influence actual consumption patterns and may lead to higher efficiency and decreased waste production.
