In 2023, Germany led the import of unconcentrated tomato puree and paste in Europe with 114.28 million kilograms, followed by the United Kingdom and France. Notable growth was observed in the Netherlands and Austria, driven by variations of 8.27% and 11.56%, respectively. Italy, although a notable tomato producer, showed a significant import increase of 12.42%, indicating increased domestic consumption or re-export demand. Larger economies generally exhibited moderate growth, whereas smaller economies like Malta and Portugal experienced double-digit growth rates, reflecting expanding consumption or supply chain shifts.
Looking ahead, data indicates an increase in the demand for tomato-based products as changing consumer food preferences continue to emphasize convenience and health. Markets like Austria and Portugal exemplify potential growth areas due to increasing imports and industry investment. Monitoring how sustainability and geopolitical factors influence supply chains could further affect tomato import dynamics across Europe.
