The forecast for anthracite imports to Germany shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 665.41 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, the import volumes are expected to reach 728.77 by 2028. This indicates consistent year-on-year growth averaging at approximately 2.3%. In 2023, Germany's anthracite imports stood at significantly lower levels, marking this forecast period as a phase of increment. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is expected to maintain a robust pace, reflecting growing industrial demand and consumption.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of Germany's energy transition policies on fossil fuel imports, potential shifts toward renewable energy sources, and geopolitical developments affecting coal supply chains. These factors could alter the current upward trajectory of anthracite imports depending on how market dynamics evolve.
