The forecast for Germany's import of plastic plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip indicates a consistent upward trend from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at approximately 1.1200 billion kilograms. From 2024 onwards, it is expected to grow steadily, reaching 1.2166 billion kilograms by 2028. The projected year-on-year growth suggests a stable increase, with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period that highlights a healthy expansion in demand.
Future trends to watch include the impact of environmental regulations on plastic imports, as well as shifts in global supply chains and emerging markets that could influence both the volume and value of these imports. Monitoring economic conditions and technological advancements in recycling and materials substitution will also be critical for understanding future trends in imports.
