The forecast for the import of copper powders of lamellar structure and flakes to Germany shows a gradual decline over the next five years. From 2024 to 2028, import values are expected to decrease annually from 1.2172 million USD to 1.1064 million USD. This projection reflects a consistent downward trend, suggesting a potential decrease in demand or a shift towards domestic alternatives or substitutes.
