The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled whole flatfish to the US from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline in volume from 370.88 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 101.56 thousand kilograms by 2028. This downward trend represents a significant year-on-year decrease, with a stark reduction of around 72.6% over the forecasted period. Comparing these projections with 2023, where consumption data is not provided, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent decrease.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental changes, regulatory tariffs, and shifts in domestic supply alternative sources that could stabilize or further alter import volumes. The sustainability focus and resource management practices may also influence future import dynamics significantly.
