As of 2023, Germany's import of textile fabric impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with polyurethane was at a reported volume. Forecasts for 2024 through 2028 indicate a gradual decline in the import volume, with figures slightly decreasing year-on-year. Specifically, the import volume is expected to decrease by approximately 0.7% to 0.8% per year, reflecting a moderate but consistent downward trend over the five-year period.
Over the longer horizon, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024-2028 period suggests a minor decrease in the average annual import volume, indicative of potential shifts in demand or supply dynamics within the textile sector.
Future trends to watch include advancements in textile technologies, changes in German manufacturing and design needs, and global trade policies affecting polyurethane-treated fabrics. Additionally, sustainability trends and shifts toward eco-friendly materials might impact future import volumes.
