The forecast for the import of asbestos friction material and articles, excluding brakes, to Germany indicates a steady growth over the period 2024-2028. The import volume starts at 2.4788 million kilograms in 2024 and reaches 2.4986 million kilograms by 2028. Between these years, year-on-year growth is approximately 0.2%, suggesting a stable increase across the five-year span. From the data, a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is minimal, reflecting a largely consistent import volume.
For future trends, factors to watch include evolving regulations on asbestos use, shifts in industrial demand, and potential advancements in alternative materials, all of which could impact import levels. Additionally, international trade policies and market dynamics may also play crucial roles in shaping future import volumes.
