The forecast for the import of non-refillable pocket lighters and gas-fuelled to Germany indicates a slight year-on-year decline throughout 2024 to 2028. Starting from 176.78 million in 2024, the value decreases steadily to 170.35 million by 2028. This suggests a continuous downward trend with an average annual decline, or CAGR, reflecting subdued demand or increased domestic production. Compared to 2023, when the market stood slightly higher, this forecasted decrease could be attributed to evolving consumer preferences or economic conditions.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in environmental regulations pushing for sustainable alternatives.
- Consumer behavior changes towards reusable or eco-friendly products.
- Technological advancements in lighter designs or functionalities.
- Impact of broader economic conditions on import capacity and pricing.
