In 2023, the production of American Plaice and long Rough Dab in capture fisheries for human consumption in Germany was below 79.83 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a steady increase, with values projected to reach 91.56 metric tons by 2028.
The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is expected to be approximately 4%, followed by similar increments in subsequent years, implying a consistent positive trend. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated at around 3.3%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on fish population, regulatory changes in the European fishing industry, and fluctuations in demand for fish products in line with dietary preferences shifting towards sustainable sources. Monitoring these aspects will be critical for accurately predicting future production levels.
