The projected import of isocyanates to Germany indicates a modest but steady annual increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 105.63 million kilograms in 2024 and rising to 107.57 million kilograms by 2028. The imports show an incremental value, highlighting a year-on-year increase pattern of approximately 0.46%. Historically, by the end of 2023, the level of imports is expected to have been slightly below the 2024 forecasted level, indicating a consistent upward trend in volume imports. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands as a continuing positive lean.
Future trends to be aware of include potential market disruptions from changes in environmental regulations and the development of isocyanate alternatives. Additionally, geopolitical factors and shifts in global supply chains could impact the steady growth dynamics observed in the forecast.
