The sold production of prepared or preserved potatoes in the form of flour, meal, or flakes in Germany experienced a significant decline from 2018 to 2022, with a starting point of 31.618 million kilograms in 2018 down to 3.614 million kilograms by 2022. This trend indicates a consistent reduction in volume over the five-year period, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that reflects a substantial negative growth, which averaged annually over those years. In 2023, the volume remained low without any significant rebound observed.
Looking forward, monitoring for innovations in product offerings, shifts in consumer preferences towards other potato derivatives, or changes in supply chain dynamics could influence future production volumes. Global economic factors and domestic market demands might also impact these trends in the forthcoming years. It will be crucial to keep an eye on any potential market recovery or further decline.
