The import of unwrought nickel to Germany is projected to decline gradually from 71.102 million kilograms in 2024 to 69.765 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a slight annual decrease, highlighting a consistent downtrend. As of 2023, data indicated that imports stood at a similar level, suggesting the beginning of this downward trend.

When examining the year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028, we notice a subtle but steady decline, indicating perhaps a strategic shift in either domestic production increases or reduced consumption needs.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in the recycling of nickel reducing import demand.
Shifts in global trade policies affecting nickel producers.
Changes in domestic consumption patterns, possibly influenced by energy and transport sectors.
