The forecast for carps and barbels production in capture fisheries in Germany for human consumption shows a consistent upward trend. Starting from 2024 with a projected production of 734.11 metric tons, it is expected to reach 791.14 metric tons by 2028. This represents a steady annual increase, which translates to a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.9% over these five years. This growth suggests a sustained interest and demand for these fish species in Germany. In 2023, production stood at 720 metric tons, meaning the projected increase by 2028 marks an appreciable rise from recent actual production levels.

Future trends to watch for:

Changes in fishing regulations or quotas that could affect production volumes.
Consumer preferences shifting either away from or towards more sustainable sources of fish.
Environmental changes impacting fish populations and catch viability.
