In 2023, Germany imported 202 million kilograms of yoghurt and other fermented or acidified milk or cream. From 2024 to 2028, forecast data suggests a steady growth in imports, starting at 206.53 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 225.11 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth rate is consistent, with around a 2.2% increase per annum. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period is approximately 2.18%, indicating a stable upward trend in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased demand for plant-based and non-dairy alternatives, which could influence traditional yoghurt imports.
Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards locally produced, sustainable dairy products.
Economic and tariff policies affecting European Union trade, impacting import volumes.
Advancements in supply chain efficiency might boost import levels due to reduced transportation costs.
