The forecast for India's imports of smoked Pacific, Atlantic, and Danube salmon, including fillets, shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at $970.34 thousand in 2024 and reaching $1,028.5 thousand by 2028. This gradual growth contrasts with the figures for 2023, which stood at a lower actual import value (not provided but should be acknowledged). The year-on-year growth rate averages around 1.5% to 1.7%, indicating a consistent upward trend driven likely by increasing domestic demand for premium seafood and an expanding market for imported gourmet products.
Future trends to watch include the impact of a growing middle class with greater disposable income, potential tariff changes affecting import costs, and any shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and certified sources of seafood. Additionally, global transportation and supply chain developments could influence import dynamics significantly in the coming years.
