In 2023, Germany's imports of Portland cement, other than white cement, stood at an estimated 495 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a declining trend, with import volumes expected to decrease from 445.85 million kilograms in 2024 to 252.71 million kilograms in 2028. This represents an average annual decrease of 11.5% over the period, highlighting a significant contraction in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in construction industry demand that could further influence import volumes.
- Economic factors or policy changes in Germany or cement-exporting countries that might affect trade dynamics.
- Environmental regulations impacting domestic production and import needs.
