The import of unmanufactured stemmed or stripped tobacco to Germany is projected to decrease steadily from 115.47 million kilograms in 2024 to 110.19 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year reduction of approximately 1.18% to 1.39%. At the end of this period, there has been an average yearly contraction (CAGR) of around 1.15% from 2024 to 2028. As of 2023, the value stood at a higher level compared to the forecasted values, indicating a downward trend in the import volume expected over the upcoming years.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of potential regulatory changes in the tobacco industry, shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative tobacco products, and global trade dynamics affecting the supply and pricing of unmanufactured tobacco. Continued monitoring of consumption patterns and legislative developments will be crucial in understanding these trends.
