In 2023, Germany's import of prepared or preserved swine hams and cuts stood at approximately 20.8 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, projections indicate a steady increase, rising from 21.425 to 23.451 million kilograms. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 suggests moderate increments, with average yearly growth of around 2.3%. This trend reflects a consistent demand for swine hams in Germany.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins or plant-based options, which could influence import volumes. Additionally, trade policy changes and environmental concerns regarding meat production may impact future import patterns.
