Germany's metal ores import dependency ratio remains extremely high, forecasted consistently at 99.5% from 2024 to 2028. This indicates a stable reliance on foreign sources for metal ores, with no variation since 2023, when the ratio was already at 99.5%. Given the lack of fluctuation, the year-on-year percentage variation and CAGR over the last five years remain effectively zero.

Future trends to watch for:

Geopolitical developments that could impact global supply chains and affect Germany's import sources or costs.
Technological advancements in recycling and mineral processing that could reduce dependency on metal ore imports.
Government policies aimed at diversifying supply sources or boosting domestic mining activities.
