In 2023, Germany imported 52.98 million kilograms of non-woven glass fibre webs, felts, mattresses, and boards. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in imports, starting at 52.367 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 49.93 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year variations suggest a consistent decrease, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a steady drop in import volumes over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased focus on sustainability could lead to local production instead of reliance on imports.
Technological advancements might alter production processes, affecting demand.
Global economic conditions and policy changes could impact international trade patterns significantly.
