The forecast for the import of supported catalysts to Germany, excluding nickel or precious metal compounds, reveals a steady decline from 2024 through 2028, with a starting volume of 6.4521 million kilograms in 2024 and reducing to 4.4739 million kilograms by 2028. Comparatively, in 2023, the import volume stood higher but specific data is not provided. Year-on-year percentage variations indicate a consistent reduction, demonstrating a notable declining trend over the five-year period, as evidenced by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) yielding a negative trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential regulatory changes impacting catalyst imports.
Technological advancements improving catalyst efficiency, possibly altering demand.
Economic factors affecting industrial production and usage rates of such catalysts in Germany.
Shifts in global supply chain dynamics, particularly in the chemicals and manufacturing sectors.
