In 2023, the value of US non-canned shrimp and prawn imports was $1.518 billion. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts suggest a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 4-4.5%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is about 4.0%, indicating a robust upward trend in import value. This growth is driven by increasing consumer demand for seafood and the popularity of healthy protein options.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in tariff policies or trade agreements affecting seafood import costs.
Innovations in seafood preservation and sustainable sourcing.
Consumer preferences shifting towards locally sourced products which could impact import levels.
