The import of rifles for sporting, hunting, or target shooting to Germany is forecasted to decrease steadily over the next five years from 2024 to 2028, following a downward trend beginning with 107.96 thousand kilograms in 2024 and declining to 98.5 thousand kilograms by 2028. This marks an ongoing decline observed from 2023 when the imports stood at 110.5 thousand kilograms (actual data). The year-on-year percentage variation over the last two years indicates a consistent decrease, with the CAGR for this period showing a decline, affirming a gradual reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes impacting imports, fluctuations in domestic demand due to changing hunting or sports shooting interests, and variations in international trade policies affecting Germany's trading relationships with key rifle-exporting countries.
