In 2023, Germany imported crude palm oil totaling approximately 219 million kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline. By 2025, imports are expected to drop to 166.67 million kilograms, marking a significant year-on-year decrease of approximately 16%. This downward trend continues through 2026 with a further decline of around 19%, reaching 135.41 million kilograms. By 2028, imports are anticipated to fall to 74.772 million kilograms, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -17% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Germany's energy policy towards renewable resources, which might accelerate the reduction in crude palm oil imports. Additionally, increasing regulatory pressures and consumer demand for sustainably sourced materials could further influence import volumes.
