The import of fresh or chilled cuts of beef and veal to Germany is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 237.98 million kilograms in 2024 and rising to 259.62 million kilograms in 2028. This consistent growth suggests a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period. In 2023, the actual import volume was likely slightly lower, aligning with this upward trend.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential changes in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins.
- Regulatory shifts affecting beef trade policies within the EU and globally.
- Economic factors influencing beef import prices and demand.
