The forecasted import volume of dried shelled broad beans and horse beans to Germany shows a consistent upward trend. The import volume is expected to grow from 28.063 million kilograms in 2024 to 32.383 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a steady year-on-year growth in the range of 3.8% to 3.9% across these years. Prior to these forecasts, in 2023, the import volume stood at a lower level than 2024, suggesting an ongoing increasing demand in the market.
Future trends to watch include potential influences from climate change on domestic production, shifts in dietary preferences towards plant-based proteins, and trade policies that may impact import dynamics or alter prices. Important market considerations will involve monitoring consumer preferences that could affect these import trends long-term.
