In 2023, the actual production of prepared or preserved fish in Germany was 287 million kilograms. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a downward trend, with production expected to decrease from 280.44 million kilograms in 2024 to 251.6 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decline highlights consistent reductions, averaging around 2.6% per year during this period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates a steady but gradual decline in production levels.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources.
The impact of sustainable fishing practices on production volumes.
Economic factors such as inflation and cost of raw materials affecting production efficiency.
Potential policy changes in the EU regarding seafood importation and production.
