In 2023, Germany's import of live swine stood at a significant level, setting the stage for the forecast period starting in 2024. Projected imports for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady and slight year-on-year increase, revealing a less than 0.1% average annual growth. This consistent trend suggests a rather stable demand within the German market for live swine imports over the next five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts in trade policies affecting European Union livestock markets could impact Germany’s import strategy.
Consumer trends towards organic or sustainable farming may influence demand dynamics.
Potential impacts of diseases affecting swine, which could disrupt import patterns.
