In 2023, Germany imported a certain volume of live ornamental fish, establishing the baseline for our analysis. For 2024 through 2028, forecasts indicate a significant decline in these imports, from 90.57 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 27.62 thousand kilograms by 2028. This decrease reflects year-on-year declines of approximately 17.89% between 2024 to 2025 and continually dropping at similar rates in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is expected to reveal a consistent downward trend indicating a potential shift in either market demand or regulatory changes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in environmental regulations affecting imports.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards native or sustainable species.
- Market adaptation to declining volumes with potential increases in value through premium species.
