In 2023, Germany remained the largest European importer of drained, glacé, or crystallized fruit, nuts, fruit-peel, and other parts of plants, with 7.1958 million kilograms, despite a slight decline. Ireland and Spain showed substantial growth, increasing by 22.33% and 26.42% respectively. The United Kingdom, France, and Italy saw minor decreases, while Belgium exhibited a positive trend with an increase of 13.46%. Overall, fluctuations varied significantly across different countries, with marked resilience observed in countries like Malta with an 8.97% increase and Cyprus showing an 18.67% rise.
Future trends to watch include potential growth in imports in Eastern European nations, driven by increasing consumer demand for convenience products. Additionally, the ongoing focus on plant-based diets might influence higher imports across Western Europe, with a particular emphasis on health-beneficial products. Sustainability and eco-certifications could also become key factors affecting import levels and consumer purchasing behaviors in the upcoming years.
