The import of soap into Germany, excluding bars, cakes, or molded shapes, and including forms like paper, wadding, felt, flakes, granules, or powders, is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume was less than the forecasted growth for the following years. The forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is moderately positive, indicating stable growth in this segment over the forecast period.
