In 2023, Germany imported approximately 8.8 million kilograms of salts of inorganic acids or peroxoacids. Forecasts indicate a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing from 8.025 million to 4.989 million kilograms. This reflects a year-on-year contraction, with notable annual declines: 9.58% from 2024 to 2025, and dropping consistently until a 12.25% forecasted decrease from 2027 to 2028. Over this period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a steady average decrease.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential market disruptions influencing demand, such as technological advancements or substitution effects.
- Changes in regulatory policies affecting production and import activities, especially within the EU framework.
- Economic factors impacting broader industrial activities and raw material sourcing in Germany and neighboring countries.
