The production of granite, sandstone, and other ornamental or building stone in Germany stood at 70.5 million kilograms in 2023. Forecasted data suggests a slight, consistent decline over the next five years, dropping from 70.21 million kilograms in 2024 to approximately 69.526 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of around 0.25% annually from 2024 to 2028, leading to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.28% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly building materials which may influence production dynamics.
- Technological advancements in quarrying which might reduce production costs and impact volumes.
- Potential economic factors or regulatory changes within the EU that could affect trade and production decisions.
