The import of boots with outer soles made of rubber or plastics and uppers of leather to Germany is forecasted to slightly increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual volume stood at approximately 37 million kilograms. The year-on-year growth rates from 2024 to 2028 show a modest upward trend with less than a 1% annual increase, reflecting a steady but slow growth pattern. The compound annual growth rate over these five years indicates a consistent import demand.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials which could impact leather imports.
Global trade dynamics, particularly between Germany and major exporting countries, influencing supply chains and import volumes.
Technological advancements in manufacturing that could alter the composition of imports.
