The forecast for wood fuel imports to Germany from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline, starting at 276.43 thousand cubic meters in 2024, and decreasing to 262.03 thousand cubic meters by 2028. When analyzing year-on-year variations, the data shows a consistent annual decrease of around 1.3% to 1.4%. Assuming the level in 2023 was similar to or slightly higher than in 2024, this indicates a continuing downward trend. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights this negative growth trajectory, averaging an annual decrease.

Future trends to monitor include:

Shifts in governmental policies toward renewable energy that could influence wood fuel demand.
Technological advancements in alternative renewable fuels.
Germany’s overall energy consumption patterns and their impact on wood fuel imports.
