In 2023, the import volume of Aluminium Chloride to Germany stood at approximately 20.658 million kilograms. The forecast for 2024 sees a slight decline to 20.405 million kilograms. This downward trend is projected to continue over the next four years, with imports gradually decreasing to 19.421 million kilograms by 2028. Notably, the year-on-year percentage change reflects a steady decrease, indicating a modest but persistent downtrend, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period also illustrating this declining pattern.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in global aluminium chloride demand which might impact import volumes.
- Germany's domestic production capacities shifts that could influence import dependency.
- Environmental policies and regulations that could affect both production and usage of aluminium chloride.
