The fishery processing sector in Germany, both marine and inland, is forecasted to witness a slight decline in employment, decreasing from 7.17 thousand persons in 2024 to 7.08 thousand persons by 2028. This marks a consistent year-on-year decrease, approximately 0.28% annually. The current trend suggests a gradual reduction in workforce, posing challenges to industry stakeholders.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of automation and technological advances on employment.
- Regulatory changes affecting both production and employment.
- Fluctuations in fishery stocks due to climate change.
