The expected average yearly growth for the crustaceans import volume in the US from 2024 to 2028 is around 0.73%, increasing steadily from 1.92 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.99 million metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year growth shows a consistent rise of approximately 1.04% from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual import volume stood at 1.90 million metric tons, indicating a sustained demand for crustaceans. This forecast suggests a stable but slow growth in import volumes over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of trade policies and tariffs on import volumes.
- Evolution in consumer preferences for seafood, potentially influencing demand.
- Environmental regulations affecting crustacean harvesting and supply chain processes.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture possibly affecting domestic production versus imports.
