In 2023, the import of melons, watermelons, and papaws in Germany stood at an actual value, setting a base for future forecasts. The projections for 2024 through 2028 reveal a steady upward trend, indicating an increasing demand. From 2024 to 2025, a year-on-year growth of approximately 2.92% is expected, continuing with incremental rises to reach a forecasted value of 681.2 million USD by 2028. This represents a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) that confirms consistent market growth over the five years due to rising consumption and import dependency.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on melon production domestically and globally, influencing supply chains and pricing. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards organic melons may drive market diversification and value growth. Monitoring EU trade policies post-2024 could also alter import dynamics with non-EU countries.
