In 2024, the import of ash or residues containing mainly aluminum to Germany is forecasted at $125.52 million, gradually increasing each year to $134.37 million by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate indicates a steady rise, with an average increase of approximately 1.72% annually over this period, reflecting consistent demand. This consistent growth highlights Germany's reliance on aluminum residues as input material, driving a modest but positive import increase year by year.

Future trends to watch:

Global economic conditions, which may impact supply chains and import costs.
Technological advancements in recycling and alternative materials that could affect demand for aluminum residues.
Policy changes regarding environmental regulations and import restrictions related to aluminum waste management.
