In 2023, Germany imported approximately 166 million kilograms of cocoa butter, fat, and oil. The forecast data suggests a steady year-on-year increase in imports, with projections reaching 182.81 million kilograms by 2028. This represents an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 2.5% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.

The expected trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of global supply chain disruptions on import volumes.
Changes in consumer preferences affecting demand for cocoa-based products.
Trade policy adjustments within the EU that might influence import costs and volumes.
