In 2023, Germany imported approximately 10.35 million kilograms of frozen whole mackerel. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a gradual decline in imports, beginning with 10.214 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing yearly to 9.7128 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend.
Year-on-year variations show a minor contraction, with the most significant decline observed between 2025 and 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028 is negative, suggesting an ongoing reduction in the import volume of frozen whole mackerel.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences, changes in domestic sourcing capabilities, or fluctuations in mackerel prices, which could significantly impact import levels.
