The forecast for the import of unmanufactured tobacco to Germany indicates a modest decline over the next five years. In 2023, actual import value was slightly above 862 million USD. Starting from 2024, the forecast shows a gradual decrease: a drop to 856.22 million USD in 2025 and continuing down to 839.1 million USD by 2028. The year-on-year variation over the last two years suggests a consistent downward trend, averaging out to an approximate annual decrease of 0.5% over five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in tobacco regulations and health policies which could further impact import levels.
Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative tobacco products or nicotine delivery methods.
Economic factors influencing purchasing power and production costs in the global tobacco trade.
