In 2023, the import volume of seamless steel line pipes into Germany, used for oil or gas pipelines, stood at earlier projections. Moving forward, forecasted data reveals a consistent year-on-year decline in import volumes from 2024 through 2028, with a significant decrease each year: 4.67% from 2024 to 2025, 4.86% from 2025 to 2026, 5.06% from 2026 to 2027, and 5.27% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years illustrates an average annual reduction of approximately 5%.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential shifts in domestic production capacity for seamless pipes to offset declining imports.
The impact of evolving geopolitical factors and trade policies on import volumes.
Technological advancements in alternative pipeline materials that might influence demand.
