In 2023, the actual import volume of linseed to Germany stood at a certain level. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a steady increase in imports from 172.42 million kg in 2024 to 177.25 million kg by 2028. The year-on-year growth is projected to remain stable, reflecting consistent demand in Germany. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest but steady increase in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in domestic linseed production, impacting import needs.
- Changes in consumer preferences toward linseed-based products.
- Regulation and trade policy adjustments within the EU and with exporting countries.
- Fluctuations in global linseed supply and pricing due to climatic or geopolitical factors.
