In 2023, the import of unfired refractory products and other refractory ceramic goods to Germany stood around the same volume as the forecast for 2024, suggesting a stable trend. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a consistent, albeit modest, year-on-year increase in import volume, averaging a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.64% per year. Notably, the anticipated import volume reaches 67.273 million kilograms by 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in ceramic manufacturing improving efficiency and potentially impacting demand.
Economic factors such as exchange rates and international trade policies influencing import costs.
Global supply chain dynamics affecting the availability and price of raw materials necessary for production.
