The imports of anthracite in Germany are forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing from 915.84 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1010.0 thousand metric tons in 2028. In 2023, the imports were evaluated at 894.52 thousand metric tons, marking a growing trend as the forecast indicates consistent year-on-year increases. From 2024 onwards, the year-on-year variation shows growth each year until the end of the forecast period. Over the five years, the forecasted average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects robust import activity in the sector.
Future trends to watch include the impact of Germany's energy transition policies on coal imports, the potential effect of geopolitical events on supply chains, and shifts in global demand for cleaner energy alternatives. Monitoring these factors will be essential for understanding the dynamics that could influence anthracite imports, causing deviations from the anticipated growth trajectory.
