The import of glues based on starches, dextrins, or other modified starches to Germany is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflecting an average annual decline. The year-on-year percentage change highlights a consistent negative trend, indicating a reduction in demand or preference for these products. In 2023, the actual import volume was higher compared to any of the forecasted years, marking a period of contraction ahead.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of environmentally friendly alternatives on traditional glue imports.
- Changes in industrial demand due to shifts in manufacturing methods.
- Economic factors such as trade policies or raw material costs affecting supply chains.
