From an import volume of 662.06 thousand kilograms in 2024, Germany's import of corks and stoppers not for sparkling wine, made from agglomerated cork, is forecasted to increase each year, reaching 765.91 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a consistent growth trajectory, with year-on-year increases of approximately 3.97% from 2024 to 2025, around 3.79% from 2025 to 2026, about 3.61% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.45% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is forecasted to be approximately 3.73%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in material preferences due to environmental considerations or industry innovations, which could impact the demand for cork alternatives. Additionally, any economic developments, trade policies, or production changes in main cork-producing countries could further alter import dynamics.
