In 2023, India's pelagic fish import volume stood at a certain value, which is the baseline for future forecasts. The forecasted import volume is expected to rise to 54.97 thousand metric tons in 2024, with steady year-on-year percentage increases thereafter: 56.46 thousand metric tons in 2025, 57.92 thousand metric tons in 2026, 59.35 thousand metric tons in 2027, and 60.76 thousand metric tons in 2028. This elucidates an upward trend, potentially driven by rising domestic demand and consumption.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic fish consumption preferences influenced by dietary shifts.
- Potential policy implications or restrictions affecting import practices.
- Evolving trade agreements that could impact the flow of pelagic fish to India.
- Environmental factors and stock management practices affecting global pelagic fish supply.
