In 2023, Germany imported 80.5 million kilograms of prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores. From 2024 to 2028, the import volume is forecasted to rise steadily from 81.599 million kilograms in 2024 to 84.246 million kilograms in 2028. This exhibits a consistent growth trajectory with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.8% over the five-year period. Year-on-year growth rates are modest, reflecting stable but slow expansion.
Future trends to watch include potential fluctuations in demand from the automotive and machinery sectors, key consumers of foundry products, as well as regulatory changes impacting import policies and production processes in Germany.
