In 2023, Germany imported approximately 43.0 million kilograms of lumber from species such as Okoume, Obeche, Sapelli, Sipo, Acajou, and Makore. Forecasts suggest a steady annual growth in imports by 0.3% from 2024 to 2028, reaching about 43.7 million kilograms by 2028. This stable incline indicates a consistent demand for these wood types.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in trade policies impacting import volumes.
The influence of environmental regulations on sourcing and consumer preferences.
Technological developments in wood processing and its effects on demand.
