In 2023, the production of whole fresh green crab in Germany's capture fisheries was recorded at 4.20 metric tons. Based on forecasted data, a steady growth is anticipated from 2024 through 2028, with production increasing annually from 4.61 metric tons to 5.65 metric tons. The year-on-year growth rates are projected as follows: 7.95% from 2023 to 2024, 7.60% from 2024 to 2025, 5.65% from 2025 to 2026, 4.40% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.29% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be 6.03%.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of environmental regulations on fishing practices, technological advances in crab fisheries, and market demand fluctuations which may alter production volumes and growth forecasts.
