In 2023, fresh ling fish production for human consumption in Germany stood at 9.61 thousand euros. Forecasts suggest a gradual decline over the next five years, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.54% from 2024 to 2028. The production value drops year-on-year by about 0.73% on average.

Future trends to watch for include:

A continued focus on sustainable fishing practices, which might influence production volumes and values.
Potential impact of climate change on fish availability and capture practices.
Market demand shifts towards other fish species or alternative proteins.
Policy changes in the EU affecting fisheries and trade that could alter the economic landscape.
