In 2023, Germany's demand for oranges and mandarins stood at a significant level, and forecasts indicate a steady rise in the coming years. The projected demand for 2024 is 923.0 thousand metric tons, increasing incrementally each subsequent year to reach 946.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.6% to 0.7%, which denotes a consistent and modest upward trend.
The average annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is roughly 0.65%, showing a stable demand for these citrus fruits in Germany. This continual increase suggests a robust market with potential for steady consumption growth.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on citrus production, advancements in agricultural technology improving yield, and potential shifts in consumer preferences towards organic or local produce. Additionally, economic factors and global trade policies could influence supply and pricing dynamics in the German market.
