In 2023, the import volume of manganese ores and concentrates to Germany was 18.20 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, Germany's imports are forecasted to decline gradually from 17.68 million kilograms in 2024 to 15.776 million kilograms in 2028. Year-on-year, the import volume is expected to decrease at a pace of approximately 2-3%. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) would indicate a steady average annual decrease, reflecting an ongoing downtrend in importation.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in global manganese supply dynamics, changes in domestic consumption and production within Germany, and advancements in alternative materials or recycling technologies that could impact import requirements.
