Thailand's import of fresh or chilled live scallops is forecasted to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import value stood at approximately 1.7290 million USD. The year-on-year variations for 2024 and 2025 suggest growth rates of approximately 4.3% and 4.2%, respectively. Similarly, the period from 2026 to 2028 shows consistent growth rates above 3.7% each year, maintaining a positive upward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be around 3.9%.
Future trends to watch include increased consumer demand for premium seafood, potential impacts of international trade policies, and Thailand's economic health. Monitoring changes in aquaculture technology and sustainability practices will also be essential, as these may affect supply dynamics and import volumes.
