The forecast for sunflower-seed oil imports to Germany from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease in volume, beginning at 108.22 million kilograms in 2024 and declining to 107.96 million kilograms by 2028. The imports in 2023 were 108.28 million kilograms, indicating a modest annual reduction in the predicted import volumes.
This trajectory represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that suggests a slight negative trend in the volume of imports over the coming years. The year-on-year decrease remains minimal, creating a stable yet decreasing trend for sunflower-seed oil imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Fluctuations in global sunflower-seed oil prices, which could significantly affect import volumes.
- Changing consumption patterns in Germany, potentially due to shifts in dietary preferences or economic conditions.
- Regulatory changes in trade policies between Germany and exporting countries that may influence import levels.
- Advancements in alternative oils or substitutes that could alter demand dynamics in the German market.
