In 2023, the import of fresh or chilled celery to Germany was recorded at a lower level compared to the forecasted data from 2024 onward. The imports are projected to increase steadily from 14.934 million kilograms in 2024 to 16.543 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth.
Year-on-year percentage increase:
- 2024 to 2025: +2.77%
- 2025 to 2026: +2.65%
- 2026 to 2027: +2.52%
- 2027 to 2028: +2.41%
The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated to be steady, indicating a healthy upward trend in Germany's celery imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards organic and sustainably sourced produce, which could influence import volumes and sourcing strategies, as well as potential fluctuations in demand driven by changing dietary trends and macroeconomic factors affecting food import policies.
