The forecast for whole frozen herrings, sardines, and anchovies production in Germany shows a declining trend. Production is expected to decrease from 1.73 thousand metric tons in 2024 to merely 0.0774 by 2028, indicating a significant contraction. From 2024 to 2025, a decline of approximately 24.86% is anticipated, with a sharper decrease of around 31.85% from 2025 to 2026. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is forecasted to be negative, highlighting a continuous downtrend in production volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Analysis of consumer demand shifts for these fish types in the European market.
- Impacts of environmental regulations or quotas that could affect catch limits.
- Alternatives in aquaculture or substitution by plant-based products contributing to the declining trend.
