In 2023, the US imported approximately 66.94 million kilograms of frozen crabs. Forecasts indicate a slight decline in imports from 2024 through 2028, with a decrease of around 0.25% annually. The most significant year-on-year decrease is predicted between 2027 and 2028 at about 0.34%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is expected to be around -0.28%, suggesting a steady downward trend in volume over this period.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global crab supply, potential changes in US consumer preferences, and any trade policy adjustments that could impact import patterns. Sustainability concerns may also influence sourcing decisions and modify demand dynamics in the coming years.
