Between 2024 and 2028, the forecast shows a consistent decline in the import of stones for milling, grinding, or pulping to Germany, starting from 201.13 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 178.55 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decline is steady, reflecting the trend observed over the past few years, indicating a gradual reduction in demand or increased efficiencies in domestic production. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period suggests an average annual decrease of approximately 3%.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from technological advancements in production efficiency, shifts in global trade policies, and environmental considerations that could influence the imports of raw materials like stone. These factors could further accelerate or counteract the overall declining trend in stone imports.
