In 2023, the import of fresh foliage and branches for bouquets to Germany stood at approximately 118.5 million US dollars. The forecast for 2024 shows a modest decline, continuing a downward trend through 2028, with imports expected to decrease to 111.9 million US dollars. The year-on-year percentage change highlights an average decrease of roughly 1-1.5% annually, signifying a consistent but slow reduction in import value. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate indicates a negative trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from growing sustainability movements, changes in local horticulture practices, and any shifts in trade agreements or regulatory frameworks that could affect import dynamics."
