In 2023, the production value of whole fresh molluscs from capture fisheries for human consumption in Germany stood at 10.85 million euros. The forecasted values for 2024 to 2028 show a gradual decline, indicating a negative trend. Specifically, the year-on-year change is approximately -0.31% from 2024 to 2028. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated to be around -0.29%, reflecting consistent downward movement in production value.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options, regulatory changes impacting fisheries, and environmental factors affecting mollusc populations. These elements could significantly influence future production levels and market dynamics.
