In 2023, the per capita consumption of fish fillets in batter or breadcrumbs in Germany stood at approximately 2.00 kilograms. The forecasted period from 2024 to 2028 indicates a subtle, steady decline in consumption per capita, decreasing from 1.99 kilograms in 2024 to 1.95 kilograms in 2028. Year-on-year percentage reductions are minor, showing about a 0.5% decrease annually. Over the five-year forecasted period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) implies a consistent downward trend, influenced potentially by dietary shifts or a growing preference for alternative protein sources.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The impact of health and sustainability trends on consumer preferences, potentially leading to further declines.
- Technological advancements in the production of alternative fish products which might attract traditional consumers.
- Market shifts driven by economic factors and their effect on discretionary spending on food items.
