The forecast for Germany's import of uranium (depleted U235), thorium compounds, and related products is projected to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, imports are forecasted at $1.2629 million, increasing to $1.3428 million by 2028. This reflects a consistent upward trend in import value, signaling a demand for these materials.
Considering the year-on-year percentage growth from 2024 to 2025 at approximately 1.63%, 2025 to 2026 at around 1.57%, 2026 to 2027 at about 1.52%, and from 2027 to 2028 at roughly 1.46%, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is approximately 1.55%.
Future trends to watch for include developments in nuclear energy policies within the European Union and advancements in alternative technologies. These could influence import volumes and values, as Germany considers balancing energy transition goals with security of supply. Additionally, geopolitical factors affecting global uranium supply could impact import dynamics.
