The production of whole frozen flounders, halibuts, and soles in Germany's capture fisheries for human consumption is forecasted to grow from 19.88 metric tons in 2024 to 22.18 metric tons in 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.75% over the five-year period. Year-on-year growth is expected to range between 3.85% and 1.84%, indicating a steady upward trend.
In 2023, actual production was slightly below the projected 2024 figure, underscoring consistent growth in subsequent years. Factors influencing this upward trend may include improved fishery management practices and increased demand for sustainable seafood options.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in sustainable fishing technologies, potential impacts of climate change on fish stocks, and shifting consumer preferences towards more eco-friendly seafood consumption which could further drive production practices and volumes.
