The import of methanal (formaldehyde) to Germany is projected to decrease gradually from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the imports stood at an estimated 113 million kilograms. Year-on-year forecasts suggest a decline, with imports decreasing by approximately 4.1% by 2025, 4.2% by 2026, 4.3% by 2027, and 4.4% by 2028. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decline in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in Germany's industrial demand, shifts in global supply chain dynamics, regulatory changes affecting chemical imports, and advancements in alternative synthetic pathways that could reduce the demand for methanal imports.
