The import of non-wired float glass in sheets to Germany is projected to experience a gradual decline from 196.73 million kilograms in 2024 to 193.39 million kilograms by 2028. This decrease reflects a steady downward trend in imports by volume. In 2023, the volume was approximately 197.5 million kilograms, indicating a continuous decline in imports.

Year-on-year variations suggest a minor decrease each year, with values dropping by around 0.44% in 2025, 0.43% in 2026, 0.43% in 2027, and 0.42% in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years is projected to be around -0.43%, illustrating a persistent but slight reduction in import volume.

Future trends to watch for:

Fluctuations in construction and automobile industries, which are major consumers of float glass, could significantly impact import volumes.
Potential changes in trade policies and environmental regulations affecting import practices.
Technological advancements leading to alternative materials or improved domestic production capacities.
