The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years is estimated at around 0.41%, reflecting stable growth in import volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions due to changes in international trade policies, environmental impact on marine life affecting supply, and shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable and locally-sourced seafood.
