In 2023, Germany's crustacean production for industrial processing stood at 547 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline, with a year-on-year decrease of 6.85% in 2025, 7.23% in 2026, 7.65% in 2027, and 8.15% by 2028. Although specific variations for 2023 are not discussed, the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) implies an average annual decrease of approximately 8% from 2024 onwards.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems affecting crustacean availability, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and potential regulatory changes in the EU fisheries management that might alter production forecasts.
