The forecast for Germany's import of frozen whole halibut shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.6377 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 1.2653 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of 5.9% between 2024 and 2025, followed by similar declines in subsequent years. In 2023, the import volume stood slightly higher than in 2024, indicating this pattern of decline had begun slightly prior.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options, as well as changes in trade policies or economic conditions that might impact import volumes. Close monitoring of the broader European seafood market and environmental regulations will also be crucial for accurately predicting future import dynamics.
