The data indicates a downward trend in Germany's meat imports from 2024 onwards. The imports are projected to decrease consistently from 2024 through 2028, dropping from 2.24 to 2.0 million metric tons. This represents annual decreases of 3.1% in 2025, 2.8% in 2026, 2.8% in 2027, and 2.4% in 2028. This consistent decline suggests a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.8% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch include the impact of policy changes on meat import regulations, consumer preference shifts towards plant-based diets, and potential disruptions in global meat supply chains, all of which could influence the trajectory of meat imports to Germany beyond 2028.
