The import of fabricated asbestos fibers and related mixtures to Germany demonstrates a steady upward trend from 2024 onwards, with values forecasted to grow from 12.734 million kilograms in 2024 to 13.352 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year increase in imports, driven largely by a stable demand and supply structure in industrial applications. In 2023, the imports stood at approximately 12.58 million kilograms.
When examining future trends, attention should be directed towards regulatory changes and environmental considerations across Europe that could impact the use and importation policies of asbestos-containing materials. Additionally, technological advancements in non-asbestos alternatives might influence future demand dynamics.
