The forecast for the import of zinc products, including bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, strips, and foil to Germany, shows a consistent decline from 44.176 million kilograms in 2024 to 39.38 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a steady annual decrease in import volume. Given that the data for 2023 was not provided, the year-on-year percentage changes cannot be calculated for 2023, but for the years following, we see a decline in volumes, suggesting an average negative growth over these years.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in German industrial demand, global zinc price fluctuations, advancements in alternative materials, and potential regulatory changes affecting zinc imports. These factors could influence the forecast and must be monitored closely.
