In 2023, Germany imported approximately 506,000 metric tons of eggs. Forecasted volumes indicate a gradual yearly increase from 2024 through 2028, with imports expected to grow from 508,000 to 515,000 metric tons. This reflects a steady but modest year-on-year growth of around 0.4% annually over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be around 0.3%, suggesting consistent yet minimal growth.
Future trends to watch:
- Fluctuations in domestic egg production and their impact on import demand.
- Trade policies, tariffs, and their implications on import costs and volumes.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards organic or alternative egg products.
