The import of wood charcoal to Germany is set to increase steadily from 223.38 million kilograms in 2024 to 242.31 million kilograms in 2028. This follows an upward trend from previous years, continuing a pattern of consistent growth. In 2023, the actual imports were significantly lower than those projected for 2024, indicating an increase driven by rising demand or possibly market expansions. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 averages around 2%-2.5%, suggesting robust and stable market development.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of sustainability regulations on import volumes.
Possibility of increased competition from alternative energy sources.
Potential influence of geopolitical dynamics on trade agreements and import tariffs.
