The forecast for the import of hand towels to Germany shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 139.1 million kilograms in 2024, this figure decreases by approximately 4-5% each subsequent year, reaching 116.28 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the volume of hand towel imports was higher than in any year from 2024 onwards, indicating a downward trend in imports.
This trend could be attributed to several factors including a shift towards more sustainable materials, increased local production, or consumer behavior changes towards reusable options. Future trends to watch include the impact of environmental policies and evolving consumer preferences on import volumes. Additionally, trade regulations and economic conditions could further influence import levels in the coming years.
