Germany's imports of non-ferrous metal waste (Copper, Aluminium, and Nickel) from outside the EU28 are forecasted to slightly decline from 2024 to 2028, with values consistently around 608 million Euros. Based on historical data, the values for 2023 were expected to hover slightly above this range. The negligible decrease in forecasted values indicates a stable but contracting market, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) showcasing minimal change over this five-year period.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential trade policy changes that could affect import tariffs or regulations.
Environmental policy shifts towards circular economy initiatives that may impact demand and supply.
Technological advancements in recycling processes potentially influencing import needs.
