In 2023, the import of cellular sheets of regenerated cellulose to Germany stood at a historical high. However, the forecasted data indicates a significant decline over the next five years. From 2024 to 2028, imports are expected to decrease progressively: 242.15, 204.32, 167.23, 130.9, and 95.28 thousand kilograms respectively. This declining trend signifies a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that is negative, reflective of a shrinking demand or perhaps an improvement in local production capabilities.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in local production, shifts in global trade policies, or environmental regulations that may further impact the import volumes. Additionally, changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials might alter this trajectory.
