In 2023, Germany imported rare gases totaling approximately 3.5 million kilograms. Forecasts suggest a steady upward trajectory through 2028, reaching 3.78 million kilograms by then. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent increase of roughly 2% annually, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.82% over the five-year outlook. These figures indicate a stable and modest rise in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advances increasing efficiency in rare gas consumption.
- Potential supply chain disruptions or geopolitical factors affecting availability.
- Environmental regulations possibly impacting demand patterns.
