In 2023, Germany imported 45 million kilograms of prepared or preserved cucumbers and gherkins. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent decline is projected, with imports decreasing from 44.84 to 44.573 million kilograms. This suggests a gradual average annual decline.
Year-on-year analysis reveals slight declines, with a near consistent negative growth each year. Specifically, from 2024 to 2028, imports are expected to fall incrementally per year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period remains negative, affirming a downward trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in consumer preferences potentially shifting towards alternative products.
- Impacts of trade policies and import regulations on supply chains.
- Innovations in cucumber preservation technology possibly affecting import volumes.
