The forecasted data suggests a steady increase in the import of fresh or chilled aubergines to Germany from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from approximately 87.141 million USD in 2024 to 93.297 million USD in 2028. Comparatively, the year-on-year growth shows a projected increase of about 1.8% between 2024 and 2025, followed by further growth rates that hover around 1.7% to 1.8% annually through 2028. This gradual upward trend reflects a solid demand for aubergines in Germany.

In 2023, the imports stood at a baseline figure from which these forecasts build, but specific data for that year is not provided in detail here.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in trade policies within the EU that could impact import processes or tariffs.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards organic or locally-sourced produce which may influence the volume of imports.
The impact of global climate change on aubergine production and subsequent supply chain dynamics.
