In 2023, Thailand dominated the global imports of fresh or chilled Indian mackerels, seerfishes, jacks, and other similar species with a significant share, followed by Taiwan and Portugal. The values for 2023 remained constant, indicating stability in market shares across importing countries. Notable European countries like Italy, Spain, and Portugal held considerable market share, signifying robust import activities in EU markets. Key non-European countries such as Canada and the United States also showed relevant participation, although substantially lower than top Asian and European importers.
Future trends to watch include:
- The impact of climate change on fish availability and catch levels, potentially altering import dynamics.
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable seafood options could influence import patterns.
- Trade policy changes and economic conditions impacting the supply chain and cost structures for importing countries.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture that may affect domestic production and import reliance.
