The forecast for Germany's extra-EU27 copper, aluminium, and nickel waste exports indicates a steady growth trajectory from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 360.67 thousand metric tons in 2024, the export volume is projected to experience a modest annual increase of approximately 0.15% until reaching 362.85 thousand metric tons by 2028. As of the end of 2023, these exports measured at their 2023 levels, setting a baseline for this forecast.

Key trends and future considerations include:

The consistent growth suggests a stable demand in international markets outside the EU27.
Environmental regulations and circular economy initiatives could impact both waste availability and export capacities.
Global economic conditions, including demand fluctuations in emerging markets, may alter the forecasted path.
