In 2023, the import value of slag wool, rock wool, and similar mineral wools to Germany was approximately 269.00 million USD. From 2024 onwards, the forecasted data shows a steady upward trend in import values, with an increase from 277.36 million USD in 2024 to 310.34 million USD in 2028. From 2024 to 2025, there is a projected year-on-year increase of roughly 3.06%. This growth continues consistently over the period, culminating in an overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 2.83% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of Germany's environmental policies and energy efficiency standards on the demand for mineral wool insulation.
Potential changes in construction activity and housing developments contributing to fluctuations in import volumes.
Advancements in manufacturing technology which could affect the price and preference for domestic versus imported materials.
