The forecasted imports of vermiculite, perlite, and chlorites to Germany show a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with a decrease from 61.029 million kilograms in 2024 to 47.221 million kilograms in 2028. The actual figure for imports in 2023 was higher than the forecasted figures for the future years.
The year-on-year decline indicates a steady reduction in import volume, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) pointing to a negative trend over this period.
Future trends to watch include shifts in demand driven by sustainable building practices, domestic production increases, and developments in alternative materials which could further impact import volumes.
