Gingerbread exports mainly to European countries
Gingerbread from Germany is also in demand abroad: in 2023, Germany exported almost 22,500 tons of the Christmas cookies - the majority of them to other European countries. The most important customers were Austria (4,500 tons), Poland (4,100 tons) and France (2,600 tons). Half (50%) of German gingerbread exports went to these three countries. Outside Europe, German gingerbread was mainly exported to the United States (1,600 tons), Brazil (500 tons) and Australia (400 tons).
The second half of the year is particularly important for gingerbread exports: 90% of exports in Germany in 2023 took place during this period. August and September were the strongest months for exports. At 24% and 27% of the total export volume respectively, more than half of all gingerbread exports were made in these months.
A good 10,800 tons of gingerbread were imported to Germany in 2023.
