The import forecast of unmanufactured, not stemmed or stripped tobacco to Germany indicates a declining trend from 2024, where the import stood at 13.708 million kilograms, down to 11.428 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the volume was higher than these forecasted figures. Year-on-year variations show a consistent decline, reflecting a decreasing demand or a shift in sourcing strategy. Over the five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates a notable decrease, underpinning this downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in EU import regulations, shifts in consumer preferences towards reduced tobacco consumption, and the impact of technological advancements in tobacco processing, which could affect raw material imports. Observing these factors can offer insights into future import volumes.
