The frozen Atlantic mackerel production in Germany’s capture fisheries is projected to decrease steadily from 7.16 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 6.93 thousand metric tons in 2028. This equates to a year-on-year average decrease of approximately -0.65% per year. Notably, the production stood at a similar level in 2023 as in 2024, suggesting stagnation followed by a gradual decline. Over the forecasted period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a modest but steady decrease, reflective of potential underlying challenges in sustaining production levels.

Future trends to monitor include:

Environmental impacts on fish stock sustainability and quota management.
The influence of European Union regulatory interventions and trade relations on production.
Technological innovations in capture fisheries that could enhance productivity.
Shifts in consumer demand affecting market dynamics within the seafood sector.
