As of 2023, Germany's import of prepared or preserved apricots stood at 15.137 million kilograms. Forecasts predict a downward trend, with import volumes expected to decrease annually to 10.312 million kilograms by 2028. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, a decrease of 8%, followed by declines of 8.5%, 9.1%, and 9.8% in the following years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be -8.34% through 2028, indicating continuous reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of climate change on apricot production, shifts in trade policies, and demand fluctuations due to dietary trends, which could all influence Germany's import dynamics and quantities.
