As we transition into 2024, the importation of plates and film with any side exceeding 255 mm to Germany is projected to see a consistent decline in value over the next five years. In 2023, the imports were recorded at an actual figure, serving as a baseline for comparison. From 2024 to 2028, the projected values exhibit a definite downward trend, decreasing steadily each year.

Year-on-year variations reflect this declining trend, indicating shrinking market demand or possibly increased domestic production. Over the five-year forecasted period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates a consistent annual decrease, reinforcing the observation of reducing imports of these materials into Germany.

Future Trends to Watch:

Technological advancements in local manufacturing that could reduce dependency on imports.
Government policies or trade agreements that might impact import volumes.
Market shifts towards sustainable or alternative materials impacting demand for traditional films and plates.
