In 2023, Germany imported live animals (excluding farm animals) reaching a base volume. Starting from 2024, forecasts indicate a steady growth: 1.27% in 2025, 1.21% in 2026, 1.17% in 2027, and 1.13% in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is 1.19%, reflecting a moderate rise in import volumes. These forecasts suggest a consistent year-on-year increase in live animal imports driven by diverse industries such as zoos, aquariums, and scientific research.
Future trends to monitor include changes in environmental policies, which could impact wildlife trade, and the potential growth of Germany's conservation and research initiatives, altering import demands.
