In 2023, the import volume of salted, in brine, dried, or smoked hams, swine shoulders, and cuts thereof to Germany stood at approximately 1.68 million kilograms. Forecasted growth from 2024 to 2028 is modest, with volumes increasing yearly but at a slow rate. The year-on-year growth is relatively consistent, indicating steady demand.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period is minimal, suggesting stable but unexciting growth. This stability in import volume reflects an established market, possibly reaching saturation.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in consumer preferences towards plant-based alternatives.
- Impact of trade agreements or restrictions on import volumes.
- Economic factors influencing import costs and demand in Germany.
