In 2023, Germany led European whey imports, accounting for the largest share. Following closely were the Netherlands, France, and Denmark, with both France and Denmark showing notable year-on-year shifts. While France experienced a decline, Denmark grew significantly at 17.86%. Italy and Lithuania showed substantial increases too, highlighting their growing demand for whey. Countries like Finland and Cyprus saw significant downturns. The data reveals a general trend of fluctuating import shares, with some smaller countries like Slovakia and Lithuania seeing robust increases, while others, such as the Netherlands and Spain, faced declines.
Future trends to watch include potential market expansion in Eastern Europe, where smaller countries are increasing their import shares rapidly. Additionally, economic and trade policies may influence imports in traditionally dominant countries like Germany and the Netherlands. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for predicting shifts in competitive dynamics across Europe’s whey import market.
