The sold production of food preparations of flour, meal, and starch in Germany is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 onwards, with values dropping from 375.07 million kilograms in 2024 to 340.84 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a reduction of approximately 9% over the five-year period, indicating a clear downward trend. In 2023, the actual production stood at a higher volume, though specific values pre-2024 are not provided here. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is negative, emphasizing a consistent decline in production volumes.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of changing consumer preferences towards alternative dietary options and increasing emphasis on healthier food choices, which might further affect traditional flour and starch-based product demand. Additionally, establishing sustainable production practices could play a critical role in reversing or slowing this downward trend.
