The forecast for the import of dairy machinery to Germany shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 420.02 thousand kilograms in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 390.91 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year percentage decline of approximately 1.78% from 2024 to 2025, and continues to follow a declining trajectory with a similar rate each subsequent year. In 2023, the actual import value stood at 425 thousand kilograms, making the 2024 forecast a reduction from the previous year's volume.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements that might reduce the need for imported machinery, shifts in local dairy production capabilities, and potential regulatory changes within the EU affecting trade. Additionally, the consolidation of dairy production facilities in Germany could impact import volumes, either stabilizing or further reducing them.
