The forecast for the export of silica sands and quartz sands from Germany from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline. The values move from 1.4327 billion kilograms in 2024 to 1.3233 billion kilograms in 2028. To put this into perspective, the value for 2023 was higher than the forecasted value for 2024. The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 are approximately:
- 2024 to 2025: -1.97%
- 2025 to 2026: -1.98%
