This growth indicates a moderate year-on-year increase of approximately 0.67% during this period. In 2023, the actual demand stood at a slightly lower level, emphasizing the gradual upward trend in consumption. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 suggests consistent demand expansion at about 0.52% per year.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer preferences towards more sustainable and responsibly sourced fish, fluctuations in fishery yields due to climate change, and potential economic factors impacting disposable income and spending on seafood. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for stakeholders in the seafood industry.
