Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for semi-milled or wholly milled rice in Germany increased from 242 thousand tons in 2018 to 276 thousand tons in 2023, with significant fluctuations during this period. The initial growth was supported by the expansion of online distribution channels and digitalization in food retail, which improved product accessibility for consumers.

A sharp surge to 299 thousand tons in 2020 was primarily driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered increased demand for staple foods. After a correction in 2021, the market rebounded in 2022, reaching 280 thousand tons, as consumer preferences shifted towards regional and sustainably produced rice varieties.

By 2023, the market stabilized at 276 thousand tons, reflecting sustained demand for healthier options like brown rice and the ongoing influence of sustainability trends on purchasing decisions.
