The Domestic Material Consumption of Non-Metallic Minerals in Germany is projected to experience a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 551.7 million metric tons in 2024 to 544.78 million metric tons in 2028. This reflects a consistent downward trend with the year-on-year change indicating a modest reduction in consumption. As of 2023, the consumption stood slightly higher, cementing a steady decline in the subsequent years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of sustainable construction practices and increased recycling rates, which may further decrease demand for raw materials.
- Technological advancements in material efficiency and shifts in economic activities influencing mineral demand.
- Regulatory changes promoting environmental conservation that might encourage reduced consumption of non-metallic minerals.
