In 2023, the maize import volume in Sweden stood at approximately 110. Therefore, a projected increase to 113.0 in 2024 indicates a year-on-year growth of about 2.7%. This trend of gradual growth continues with imports climbing to 116.0 in 2025 (a 2.7% increase), 119.0 in 2026 (another 2.6% increase), 122.0 in 2027 (a 2.5% increase), and reaching 125.0 thousand metric tons by 2028 (a 2.5% increase). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is approximately 2.6% per year.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in agricultural policies within the EU.
- Variations in global maize prices, influenced by weather patterns and geopolitical factors.
- Developments in alternative feedstock and their adoption in Sweden, impacting maize demand.
- Advances in trade agreements that could either facilitate or hinder maize imports.
Monitoring these factors will be crucial to refine further import volume predictions for maize in Sweden.
