The forecast for frozen seafood production in Germany's capture fisheries for human consumption indicates a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, production stood at approximately 13.06 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year percentage variations show a decline of approximately 9.2% in 2025, 10.0% in 2026, 11.0% in 2027, and 12.2% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights an average annual decline of around 10.4% over the five-year forecast period. This declining trend potentially reflects pressures from overfishing, environmental regulations, and shifting consumer demands.

Future trends to watch for include:

Implementation of sustainable fishing practices that could stabilize production.
Increased demand for alternative seafood sources like aquaculture.
Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems affecting fish stocks.
Evolving consumer preferences towards plant-based seafood alternatives.
