In 2023, the total aquatic animals production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Germany stood at 19.00 thousand metric tons. From 2024, forecasts indicate a steady decline, with production projected to decrease from 18.51 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 16.75 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.0% annually over these five years.
Key future trends to watch include:
- Impact of sustainable fishing regulations on production levels.
- Technological advancements in fishing that may improve efficiency and resource management.
- Climate change effects on aquatic ecosystems influencing fish populations and capture yields.
- Consumer preferences shifting towards more sustainable seafood options.
