The forecast for the import of granules, chippings, and powder of granite and sandstone into Germany shows a gradual decline from 2024 onwards, starting at 3.161 billion kilograms and diminishing to 2.5798 billion kilograms by 2028. In 2023, actual imports stood slightly higher, indicating a downward trend that implies a year-on-year decrease from 2024 to 2028. This declining trend suggests a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that is negative over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of domestic production capacities on import demand.
- Changes in construction industry demand due to economic conditions.
- Environmental policies affecting raw material usage and importation.
