In 2023, Germany's import of raw or retted flax fibre stood at a baseline level. As of 2024, forecasts predict a steady increase in import value, reaching $48.24 thousand USD, with a consistent uptick each year up to 2028 when it is expected to reach $50.19 thousand USD. The year-on-year variation shows a gradual growth of approximately 1% annually from 2024 to 2028. This consistency points to a stable demand and reliance on this raw material within Germany over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Change in global flax fibre supply dynamics due to climate impacts or geopolitical shifts.
- Advancements in textile technology potentially affecting demand.
- Economic shifts in Germany that could influence import levels and pricing strategies.
- Potential increases in competition or alternative fibre materials impacting the market share of flax fibre.
