The forecast for zinc dust imports to Germany shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 5.3328 million kilograms in 2024, the imports are expected to decrease annually, reaching 5.2283 million kilograms by 2028. As of 2023, imports stood higher than the forecast values, indicating a consistent downward trend. Year-on-year variations show a progressive, albeit slight, reduction in import volumes. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period illustrates a marginal negative trend, reinforcing the outlook of a declining import demand.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in the global zinc market, changes in German industrial demand, and any environmental regulations impacting zinc usage. These factors could influence the spatial direction of imports beyond current forecasts.
