In 2023, France led European imports of food preparations with at most 18% cocoa butter in large packings, accounting for 17.12% of total volume, though showing a slight decrease from the prior year. Notable year-on-year growth was observed in Germany, Hungary, and Italy. Poland followed closely behind France. The 5-year compound annual growth rates reveal significant increases, with Sweden and Malta displaying high growth potential. Conversely, Finland and Cyprus experienced declines.
Future trends point toward continued growth in Eastern and Southern European imports, driven by increasing demand and rising culinary trends. Monitoring trade agreements and economic shifts in these regions will be crucial for assessing long-term opportunities. Additionally, sustainable and health-focused product offerings are expected to influence import preferences across Europe.
