In 2023, salted or in brine anchovy imports to the US stood at $2.429 million. Forecasts for the coming years indicate a gradual decline in import values, dropping to $2.0213 million by 2028. This suggests a year-on-year percentage decrease, averaging around 3.5% per year over this five-year period, demonstrating a consistent downtrend. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, further confirming the declining trend in imports.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative fish products, potential increases in global production or availability of anchovies, and possible changes in trade agreements or tariffs that could affect import levels.
