In 2023, Germany imported acid and mordant dyes amounting to 5.68 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 predicts a slight annual decline in import volumes, starting from 5.65 million kilograms in 2024 to 5.50 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a consistent decrease in volume, estimated at an average of -0.6% annually over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch include:

Increased environmental regulations could affect import needs and sources.
Technological advancements in dye production might reduce reliance on imports.
Shifts in fashion and industrial demands may significantly influence market dynamics.
