The import of dormant bulbs, tubers, corms, crowns, and rhizomes to Germany is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028, with values decreasing annually. In 2023, the import value stood at approximately 61.8 million USD. From 2024 to 2025, a year-on-year decrease of around 1.7% is expected, continuing with similar trends in subsequent years, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.6% over the 5-year period from 2024 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of climate change affecting cultivation and supply chains of dormant bulbs and tubers.
Shifts in environmental regulations within the EU, possibly influencing import logistics and costs.
Market preference towards sustainable and locally sourced products might reshape demand patterns.
Technological advancements in agricultural techniques improving yield and variety of bulbs and rhizomes.
