From 2024, forecast data shows a declining trend in Germany's imports of chemical and fertilizer minerals, with per capita values gradually decreasing from 0.064 metric tons in 2024 to 0.058 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year change indicates a consistent decrease of approximately 1.6% to 3.3% annually. This decline suggests an ongoing shift towards domestic alternatives or improved efficiency in usage.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy changes affecting imports due to increased European Union environmental regulations.
Technological advancements in agriculture that might alter fertilizer usage patterns.
Evolving geopolitical tensions that could impact global supply chains and import dynamics.
