The forecast suggests a consistent year-on-year growth in imports from 2024 to 2028, with annual increases around 1.41% to 1.48%. This trend underscores a steady rise in demand for bovine cuts within the German market, driven potentially by evolving consumer preferences and stable supply conditions.
Key future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer dietary habits, potential trade policy changes post-Brexit, and advancements in sustainable livestock farming. Monitoring these trends will be crucial for stakeholders within the supply chain to adapt strategically.
