In 2023, the import of frozen whole mackerel to Germany was approximately 20.4 million US dollars. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a slight, steady decline in import value, decreasing from 20.363 million US dollars in 2024 to 20.193 million US dollars in 2028. The year-on-year variation remains minimal, with less than a 1% decrease annually, illustrating a gradual downtrend over this period. The cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) reinforces this subtle downward trend over the five-year forecast horizon.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of changing consumer preferences for local and sustainable fish products on import demand.
The influence of geopolitical factors and trade agreements on supply chain dynamics.
Technological advancements in fishing and storage that could affect pricing and availability.
