The capture fisheries production in Germany is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production volume stood at 169.3 thousand metric tons. Looking ahead, the year-on-year percentage decrease is projected to be: approximately -5.6% from 2024 to 2025, -5.9% from 2025 to 2026, -6.2% from 2026 to 2027, and -6.5% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates an average annual decrease of around -9.5% in production volume.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas and sustainability practices.
The impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, which may further reduce available fish stock.
Technological advancements in aquaculture that could offset declines in capture fisheries.
Shifts in consumer demand towards more sustainable sources of seafood.
