In 2023, Germany imported approximately 310.5 thousand metric tons of pulses. From 2024 to 2028, the import volume is forecasted to increase from 318.0 to 352.0 thousand metric tons. This represents a gradual year-on-year percentage growth, indicating a steady rise in demand for pulses. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is suggestive of a consistent upward trend, reflecting an average annual increase in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of changing dietary preferences towards plant-based proteins on import volumes.
Potential fluctuations due to trade policies or tariffs impacting market conditions.
Developments in local pulse production which could influence import needs.
