In 2023, Germany's biomass exports for food and feed were approximately 84 million metric tons. The forecast indicates a steady increase in exports, rising from 84.5 million metric tons in 2024 to 85.48 million metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates remain modest, demonstrating a slight upward trend. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be relatively minimal, highlighting stable demand and production capacities.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes in the EU regarding sustainable energy, emerging markets demanding more biomass, and technological advancements that might impact production efficiencies. Additionally, environmental concerns and shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable products may further influence export volumes.
