The forecast for fresh or chilled jack and horse mackerel imports to the US indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, import values start at 6.2439 million USD and decrease each year, hitting 4.4675 million USD by 2028. Year-on-year percentage reductions reflect a significant downward trend. Unfortunately, 2023 data is unavailable but would provide a clearer context for this drop. Over the five-year period, a notable average contraction in the market, calculated through CAGR, should be anticipated.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in consumer demand for mackerel fish, influenced by dietary trends.
- Sustainability regulations affecting fishery practices and import policies.
- Potential impacts from climate change on mackerel availability.
- Market developments related to alternative aquaculture or substitutes.
