In 2023, the fresh Atlantic salmon production value in capture fisheries in Germany was at a comparable level to the forecast for 2024. From 2024 to 2028, a downward trend is anticipated with a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.95%, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.14% over this five-year period. This suggests a challenging environment for the industry, reflecting possible market saturation, competition, or changes in demand.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of environmental policies on capture fisheries.
Technological advancements in aquaculture possibly offsetting declines in capture production.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainably sourced salmon impacting demand dynamics.
