The forecasted decline in the import of frozen whole trout to the US is evident from 2024 (346.65 thousand kg) through 2028 (301.24 thousand kg), indicating a consistent downward trend. If the import volume stood at 355 thousand kg in 2023, the forecast shows a declining pattern with an average decrease of approximately 3.5% annually, translating to a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of around -3% over five years. This points to a continued reduction in demand or supply constraints.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential market shifts towards alternative fish options or increased domestic production.
Changes in trade policies affecting import tariffs or regulations.
Environmental factors impacting global trout farms and fisheries.
Consumer preferences leaning towards sustainability and local sourcing.
