The import of backed foil of refined copper to Germany is forecasted to gradually decline from 4.3565 million kilograms in 2024 to 4.2002 million kilograms by 2028. This trend reflects a slight but consistent year-on-year decrease, averaging around a -1.4% annual contraction. Compared to the actual import figures in 2023, this downward movement highlights a sustained reduction in volume.

Future trends to watch for:

Market demand in Europe and internationally which could affect import needs.
Technological advancements that could alter the needs for backed foil applications.
Global copper price fluctuations impacting trade dynamics.
