In 2023, China led the global demersal fish production at 4.2 million metric tons followed by Russia and the United States with 3.03 and 2.76 million metric tons respectively. Indonesia and India recorded the highest year-on-year growth rates among top producers, while China's production slightly declined. Notable growth was also observed in Egypt and Denmark, whereas Japan and Thailand reported significant declines. Smaller producers like Togo and Sao Tome and Principe showed remarkable percentage increases, contrasting with steep declines in countries like Ukraine and Yemen.
Future trends to watch include the potential for continued growth in emerging markets like Indonesia and India, driven by increasing demand and improved fishing techniques. Meanwhile, regulatory changes and environmental concerns in major fishing nations could impact output. Technological advancements and sustainable practices are likely to shape the demersal fish production landscape in the coming years.
