In 2023, Germany's import value of aluminium alloy rectangular plates, sheets, and strips stood at approximately $3.37 billion. The forecast shows a steady increase with values rising from $3.46 billion in 2024 to $3.83 billion in 2028, indicating moderate year-on-year growth rates.

Future trends to watch for include:

Fluctuations in global aluminium prices that could affect import costs.
Germany's industrial demand, particularly in automotive and construction sectors, impacting import volume.
Trade policies and geopolitical events potentially influencing trade flows and tariffs.
Advancements in recycling technology reducing reliance on imports.
