In 2024, Germany's forecast for the import of nickel waste or scrap is approximately 9.20 million kilograms. This shows a decline from recent forecasts for 2025 to 2028, with values expected to decrease annually, eventually reaching 8.55 million kilograms by 2028. Historically, in 2023 actual imports stood higher than forecasted values for 2024. Year-on-year percentage changes continue to show a downward trend with the five-year CAGR, from 2024 to 2028, emphasizing a steady decline in the import volume of nickel waste or scrap.
Future trends to watch for include changes in global nickel demand, which might be influenced by shifts in industries such as electric vehicles and electronics, and potential regulatory developments aimed at promoting nickel recycling within Germany.
