Between 2024 and 2028, the import of vegetable materials, waste, residues and by-products to Germany is forecasted to experience steady growth, as the value increases from 500.52 million kilograms to 596.45 million kilograms. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is approximately 4.4%. This upward trend reflects a consistent increase in demand for these imports, following an escalation from 2023 where the actual value stood below this forecasted range.

Looking ahead, key trends to watch include:

Potential regulatory changes in the European Union affecting agricultural imports and trade dynamics.
Advancements in circular economy practices that may influence production and import needs.
Emerging markets or technologies that might alter supply chain efficiencies or costs.
