The forecast for Germany's ores and metals imports from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decrease in the percentage of goods imports, starting at 4.78% in 2024 and declining to 4.64% by 2028. Compared to 2023, where ores and metals imports stood at 4.81%, this represents a steady downward trend. The year-on-year variations show minimal declines, with a slight decrease of approximately 0.8% per year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights this steady downward trend over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global trade dynamics, fluctuations in commodity prices, and changes in German industrial demand, which could influence the volume and value of ores and metals imports. Monitoring environmental policy developments and technological advancements in recycling and alternative materials could also impact future import patterns.
