In 2023, Germany's import of frozen whole trout stood at approximately 5.3 million kilograms. Forecasts indicate a steady decline in imports over the next five years, with a year-on-year decrease averaging around 1.25% by 2028. This reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 of approximately -1.29%.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential demand shifts due to changing consumer preferences toward fresh or alternative fish products.
- Impact of environmental policies and innovations in aquaculture on supply and price.
- Economic factors influencing trade agreements and import tariffs with key trout-exporting countries.
