The import of lard stearin, oleostearin, and oils, specifically natural tallow oil to Germany, is forecasted to show a consistent upward trend from 2024 through 2028, with values ranging from 12.272 million kilograms in 2024 to 13.318 million kilograms in 2028. The projected yearly increase demonstrates a steady growth pattern, aligning with the demand observed in the past years. In 2023, the import volume was slightly lower, indicating a continued growth trajectory forthcoming.

Future trends to watch for:

Emerging alternative fats and oils might impact demand for traditional products like tallow oil.
Sustainability trends could influence packaging and transportation methods in the industry.
Regulatory changes within the EU regarding animal by-products may alter import requirements.
