In 2023, the import of copper ores and concentrates to Germany stood at about 1.23 billion kilograms. The forecast until 2028 suggests a steady increase, reaching approximately 1.2953 billion kilograms. The year-on-year growth is projected to be modest: each year from 2024 to 2028 sees an increment of around 0.8% to 0.9%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) forecast for this five-year period is about 0.8% per year. This indicates a stable but slow upward trend in imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in global copper demand and supply dynamics due to technological and industrial changes.
Impact of environmental and regulatory policies affecting mining and importation processes.
Economic factors influencing raw material sourcing and international trade partnerships.
