The import of prepared or preserved asparagus to Germany is forecasted to steadily decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 15.277 million kilograms in 2024 to 12.323 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the volume stood higher than in the projected forecasts, indicating a downward trend. The year-on-year percentage decreases are consistent, reflecting a shrinking demand or increased self-sufficiency in asparagus preservation. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) points to a noticeable negative trajectory due to these declines.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards fresh asparagus over preserved, the impact of EU trade policies on imports, and advancements in domestic asparagus farming that may reduce import needs.
