The forecasted sold production of partly or wholly hydrogenated vegetable fats and oils in Germany is expected to decline gradually from 2024 through 2028, starting at 170.48 million kilograms in 2024, tapering to 167.97 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, actual data indicated the production level was slightly above the 2024 forecast. The year-on-year percentage variation shows a minor decrease in production, reflecting a steady but slow decline. The compound annual growth rate over these five years further signals a negative trend.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Sustainability and health trends impacting demand for hydrogenated fats as consumers shift towards healthier alternatives.
Regulatory changes influencing the vegetable oil industry, potentially affecting production levels.
Technological advancements in food processing that may reduce the necessity for hydrogenation.
