The forecasted data for Thailand's freshwater fish export volume from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline. Starting at 83.68 thousand metric tons in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 81.12 thousand metric tons by 2028. This downward trend represents a year-on-year percentage decrease of approximately -0.79% from 2024 to 2025, followed by similar declines in the following years. For context, in 2023, the actual export volume was 84.34 thousand metric tons, indicating a year-on-year decrease in 2024 of -0.78%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is approximately -0.78%.
Future trends to watch for include changes in global demand for freshwater fish, potential impacts of climate change on fish populations, and shifts in government policies or export regulations that could affect production and export volumes. Monitoring technological advancements in aquaculture and their adoption in Thailand could also provide insights into future production capabilities.
