In 2023, the imports of building blocks, bricks of cement, or artificial stone to Germany were recorded at 64.9 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent annual decline in import volumes, with a decrease from 63.307 to 57.174 million kilograms. This indicates a year-on-year reduction of around 2-3% during this period. Over five years, the average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated to reflect a steady downward trend, influenced by factors such as increased domestic production and sustainability concerns.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in construction materials, shifts towards sustainable building practices, and potential economic impacts due to geopolitical factors. Additionally, the impact of policy changes in the European Union related to import regulations could further influence these forecasts.
