In 2023, the import of crude linseed oil to Germany was slightly above the forecasted values for upcoming years with the projected imports showing a slight decreasing trend. The forecast indicates a minor decline in imports from 16.473 million kilograms in 2024 to 16.442 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year variation reflects a nominal decrease of approximately 0.05% annually over the next five years, signaling a stable yet slightly declining trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in domestic or international linseed oil prices affecting import volumes.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative oils due to health or environmental considerations.
Influences of regulatory changes in the EU impacting import tariffs or standards.
