The forecast for Germany's chalk and dolomite imports from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline, with import volumes decreasing from 630.12 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 550.88 thousand metric tons by 2028. This trend indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease. Based on historical data, the volume in 2023 was slightly above 630 thousand metric tons, marking the beginning of this declining phase. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) results in a negative average annual variation, highlighting a diminishing demand or increased domestic sourcing.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts towards local sustainable sourcing, technological advancements in alternative materials, and policy changes impacting import demand. Monitoring these factors could provide insights into longer-term import strategies and industrial developments.
