In 2023, China's freshwater fish export volume stood at a significant measure with forecasts indicating 1.14 million metric tons in 2024, followed by slight year-on-year declines to 1.13 million metric tons in 2025 and 2026, tapering to 1.12 million metric tons in 2027 and 2028. This indicates modest annual decreases of approximately 0.88% in 2025 and 2026, with a further 0.88% drop in 2027 and a stable outlook for 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of global economic conditions on export demand, shifts in trade policies, and environmental factors affecting fish populations and supply. Moreover, technological advancements in aquaculture and sustainable practices could play a pivotal role in shaping export volumes.
