From 2013 to 2023, freshwater abstractions for aquaculture in Denmark showed varied annual changes. Starting at 325.64 million cubic meters in 2013, it fluctuated due to varying agricultural demands and environmental conditions. The abstraction value stood at 266.26 million cubic meters in 2023, seeing a decrease from the previous years.
Key trends include a significant drop of 14.34% year-on-year in 2016 and a rebound in 2021 with a 20.15% increase. However, the general trajectory over the last five years shows a downward trend with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.35%.
The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a continued decline, with a forecast 5-year CAGR of -1.06%, estimating a reduction to 249.23 million cubic meters by 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in aquaculture efficiency, regulatory changes aimed at environmental conservation, and ongoing climate change effects on water resources. These factors will play critical roles in shaping the dynamics of freshwater abstractions in the coming years.
