The production of freshwater and diadromous fishes for human consumption in German capture fisheries is forecasted to grow steadily, increasing from 936.78 metric tons in 2024 to 990.25 metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 1.45%. As of 2023, the actual production stood lower than the forecasted 2024 figures, indicating an expected positive trajectory. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected at around 1.38%, reflecting a consistent growth trend in production volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from climate change on fish habitats, shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable sourcing, and regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas and practices. These factors could influence production dynamics, posing both risks and opportunities for the industry.
