In 2023, Germany imported approximately 763 million kilograms of beer. Looking ahead, forecasts predict a steady upward trend from 772.41 million kilograms in 2024 to 810.46 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth, with import volumes increasing marginally each year. While the growth rate is modest, the data suggests a robust and sustained increase, averaging approximately 1.5% per year over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards craft and specialty beers affecting import patterns.
The impact of any regulatory changes concerning import duties or bilateral trade agreements.
The influence of economic factors, such as fluctuations in currency valuation, on import costs and beer demand.
