In 2023, Germany and Ireland dominated the European import of sugar-preserved fruits, nuts, fruit-peel, and other plant parts, with Germany at almost 15% and Ireland slightly trailing. While Germany experienced a slight decline, countries like Ireland and Spain had significant growth, spiking over 22% and 26% respectively. The UK and Italy saw minor decreases. Over a longer five-year period, the compounded annual growth rate indicates that countries with positive recent year-on-year growth, such as France and Spain, may continue on an upward trajectory.
Looking ahead, watch for any economic fluctuations impacting consumer spending in essential sectors. The growing interest in plant-based products could see shifts in import behavior, focusing on these sugar-preserved items. Additionally, changes in trade policies within the EU could alter the dynamics significantly, particularly with Brexit still unfolding. Countries with increasing year-on-year growth, like Ireland and Spain, are ones to keep a focused eye on for their potential to further increase their market share.
