The forecast for German food imports from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline, with values moving from 7.62 to 7.49 percent of total goods imports. Compared to 2023, where imports constituted a slightly higher percentage of goods imports, this represents a continuous downtrend. Year-on-year decreases hover around 0.4% to 0.5% across the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, reflecting a subtle yet steady reduction in food imports over these years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in German dietary habits and preferences, which might affect demand for imported foods.
Shifts in trade policies or agreements impacting import regulations and tariffs.
Global supply chain developments and their influence on availability and prices of imported food products.
Technological advances in domestic agriculture potentially reducing dependency on imports.
