In 2023, the actual import of chromium to Germany was 11.4 million kilograms. Between 2024 and 2028, the import volume is forecasted to increase steadily from 11.718 million kilograms to 12.975 million kilograms. This represents a consistent upward trend with an average annual growth rate of approximately 2.5%. The import volume is projected to rise by 2.76% year-on-year in 2024, followed by growth rates of around 2.77% to 2.92% in subsequent years.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions in supply chains due to geopolitical tensions, rising demand from the automotive and manufacturing sectors, and environmental regulations that may impact industrial use and import logistics of chromium.
