The import of hand-made rugs, including Kelem, Schumacks, and Karamanie, to Germany is projected to decline over the next five years. Starting from an anticipated 747.45 thousand kilograms in 2024, the import volume is forecasted to decrease steadily, reaching 693.38 thousand kilograms by 2028. This data suggests a consistent year-on-year decline in imports, with the total volume decreasing at an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period. Previously, in 2023, the import volume stood significantly higher, indicating a concerning downward trend.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable or alternative materials, which could further impact the demand for traditional hand-made rugs. Additionally, fluctuations in the global economy and trade regulations may influence import volumes. Monitoring advancements in textile technology could also offer insights into future market dynamics.
