In 2023, the production of whole fresh carps and barbels in Germany's capture fisheries stood at approximately 707 metric tons. Moving into the forecasted years, production is expected to increase steadily, with a year-on-year growth rate from 2024 to 2028. The percentage increase from 2024 to 2025 is 2.03%, followed by 1.98% from 2025 to 2026, 1.92% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.86% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 1.96%.
Future trends to watch for include the impacts of climate change on fish habitats, regulatory changes in fishing policies affecting production levels, and the potential increase in demand for sustainable fish varieties which may drive the production upwards.
