The import of fish and marine mammals fats and oils to Germany is expected to decline steadily between 2024 and 2028. Starting at 7.7501 million kilograms in 2024, it is projected to decrease annually, reaching 6.3177 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year decline, reflecting a possible reduction in demand or a shift towards alternative products. Notably, data for 2023 shows the upward trend was reversed as forecasts suggest a clear downward trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and plant-based alternatives.
Regulatory shifts that might impact import dynamics.
Developments in the aquaculture and marine harvesting sectors could influence supply and demand.
