The forecast for the import of sulphates of barium or aluminium to Germany shows a downward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual import volume stood slightly above 21.186 million kilograms, indicating the beginning of a consistent year-on-year decline. By 2028, import volume is expected to decrease to 18.15 million kilograms. Yearly changes highlight a reduction in imports, with annual decreases averaging at roughly 3% per year over the forecast period. This equates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -3% from 2024 to 2028.
Key future trends to watch include potential changes in industrial demand and environmental regulations affecting sulphate consumption. Additionally, geopolitical factors might impact supply chains, altering import volumes and leading to market adjustments in Germany's chemical sector.
