In 2023, Germany's pelagic fish import volume stood at approximately 536.75 thousand metric tons. The forecast shows a steady decline, with values projected to drop by 10.3% in 2025 and further decrease at similar rates, leading to a 49.7% reduction by 2028 compared to 2023. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is anticipated to be -13.8%, reflecting a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch include potential policy changes impacting fish importation, shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources, and environmental factors affecting pelagic fish stocks. Monitoring these will be pivotal in understanding future market dynamics.
