In 2023, the import of whey and modified whey in liquid or paste forms to Germany stood at an undisclosed level. As we look forward from 2024 to 2028, we observe a steady projected increase in import volumes from 521.05 million kilograms in 2024 to 573.28 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a consistent upward trend with year-on-year increases. Analyzing the last two years of forecasts in 2025 and 2026, the year-on-year growth rates are approximately 2.54% and 2.46%, respectively. The cumulative average growth rate over these five years is also positive, signifying a healthy demand trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from changes in dietary habits emphasizing protein consumption, trade agreements, or tariff alterations in the EU, which could further influence both supply chain dynamics and import quantities. Additionally, monitoring shifts in the global dairy market and Germany’s domestic dairy production could significantly impact future trade volumes.
