The forecast for the import of live swine, excluding pure-bred breeding weighing less than 50 kg, into Germany shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 341.92 million kilograms in 2024, the data predicts an increase to 371.91 million kilograms by 2028. This displays year-on-year growth percentages as observed values: approximately 2.27% from 2024 to 2025, 2.17% from 2025 to 2026, 2.08% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.00% from 2027 to 2028. Calculated over these years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at approximately 2.13%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from trade policies, changes in domestic pork production, and shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources, which could influence import volumes. Sustainability concerns and possible health regulations could also affect future swine imports.
