In 2023, the gross investment in the wholesale of metals and metal ores sector in Germany stood at approximately 498.4 million Euros. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady rise, with values increasing from 502.9 million Euros in 2024 to 521.5 million Euros in 2028. Year-on-year growth is modest, reflecting a stable yet incremental expansion. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is projected at around 0.9%, indicating a consistent, though not rapid, upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global economic shifts, advancements in sustainable metals production, and trade policies influencing Germany's metal imports and exports. Additionally, the transition towards digitization within supply chains may yield efficiency gains or disruptions that could affect investment levels in this sector.
