The import of tiles and flagstones of cement, concrete, and artificial stone to Germany is predicted to decline from 112.68 million kilograms in 2024 to 94.856 million kilograms in 2028. This represents an approximate decrease of 15.8% over five years, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) being negative. In 2023, the volume was slightly above 112.68 million kilograms, highlighting a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in construction materials preferences toward more sustainable or alternative resources.
- Economic factors affecting construction demand in Germany, such as housing market fluctuations and infrastructure projects.
- Innovation in artificial stone manufacturing that could reverse the trend by reducing costs or increasing the product’s appeal.
