In 2024, the import of fresh or chilled whole trout to the US is projected at 71.829 million USD. This figure is expected to increase steadily, reaching 83.966 million USD by 2028. The average annual growth rate over this period (CAGR) is approximately 3.93%. Compared to 2023, the forecast suggests consistent growth driven by factors such as rising consumer demand and increased supply capabilities.
Between 2024 and 2025, a year-on-year increase of about 4.35% is anticipated, with further annual increments of 4.09% and 3.85% observed in subsequent years up to 2027. From 2027 to 2028, a modest increase of 3.63% is projected.
Looking ahead, trends to watch include sustainability practices among suppliers, changes in international trade policies affecting import tariffs, and evolving consumer preferences for fresh seafood. Monitoring these factors will be crucial in understanding and predicting future import dynamics.
