In 2023, the production value of river eels in capture fisheries in Germany was stable at a certain point. Projected forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a consistent increase in value, growing from 13.29 to 15.71 thousand Euros per metric ton. This represents a year-on-year percentage increase, approximately 4.6% annually during the first few years and slightly adjusting as the growth progresses. Over the course of these five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to maintain its upward trajectory, reflecting a steady demand and potentially improving conditions for river eel fisheries in Germany.
Future trends to monitor include the impacts of environmental policies on capture fisheries, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and changes in consumer preferences that could influence demand for river eels. Additionally, economic factors domestically and globally may play significant roles in shaping these dynamics.
