The 2023 data shows France leading in European imports of biscuits, holding a significant share of the market, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. Italy experienced the highest year-on-year growth at 17.32%, whereas Sweden saw a decline of 12.02%. Other notable growth was seen in smaller markets like Cyprus and Croatia, whereas Austria and Bulgaria experienced minor declines. Over the past five years, consistent import growth has characterized the European biscuit market, yet there are variations among countries in terms of import volume momentum, even though general growth trends are positive.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Continuing growth in Italy and France, driven by changing consumer preferences and wider product availability.
- Potential recovery in Sweden's market share following the 2023 decline.
- Emerging markets in Eastern Europe could see increased import activity as economies strengthen and consumer demand rises.
- Impact of trade policies and potential tariff changes, especially in post-Brexit Britain, affecting import shares.
