In 2023, the production of fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in capture fisheries for human consumption in Germany stood at a value lower than the forecasted 2.44 thousand metric tons for 2024. Forecasted data indicates an upward trend in production from 2024 to 2028, with a yearly increase averaging at approximately 5.1%. The strongest growth can be observed between 2027 and 2028, with a projected rise of about 5.8% year-on-year. These figures suggest a steady expansion and demand for these fish species over the next few years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental policies impacting fishing practices.
- Climate change effects on fish habitats and populations.
- Market demand fluctuations influenced by consumer preferences.
