In 2023, Germany's import of starches, excluding wheat, maize, potato, and manioc, was valued at a baseline figure for future projections. The forecasted trend for 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase in import volumes, from 11.021 million kilograms in 2024 to 11.284 million kilograms by 2028. This represents modest annual growth, with year-on-year increases ranging from 0.62% to 0.57% over the period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a consistent upward trajectory in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global starch demand and supply dynamics, technological advancements in starch production, and evolving consumer preferences towards alternative starch sources. Economic and trade policies may also influence import behaviors and supply chain efficiencies.
