In 2023, Germany's imports of solid fossil fuels were at 45.30 million metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual annual increase, reaching 49.12 million metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth sees a consistent rise, approximately 1.67% from 2024 to 2025, with slight annual increments thereafter, maintaining a steady upward trajectory. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is anticipated to be around 1.83%.
Future trends to watch include Germany's energy transition policies, shifts towards renewable energy, and potential geopolitical factors affecting international trade. These influences may alter the projected import volumes of solid fossil fuels.
