The production of cooked aquatic animals in capture fisheries for human consumption in Germany is projected to decline from 6.12 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 4.34 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with annual reductions of approximately 7.35% in 2025, 7.95% in 2026, 8.43% in 2027, and 9.21% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period (2024-2028) is approximately -8.03%, indicating a noticeable downward trend in production volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Sustainability initiatives and regulations that could further impact capture fisheries.
Technological innovations or shifts towards aquaculture that might offset declining capture production.
Changing consumer preferences and demand for alternative seafood sources.
