The import of frozen, dried, salted, or in brine mussels to India is forecasted to exhibit a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values projected to rise from 106.7 thousand USD in 2024 to 117.37 thousand USD by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate from 2024 shows a consistent upward trend, with annual increments ranging between 2% to 2.25% for the given period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for these five years is approximately 2.35%, demonstrating modest yet stable growth. As of 2023, the import value stood below the 2024 forecast, reflecting gradual market expansion.
Future trends to watch for include variations in international trade policies affecting import duties, changes in consumer preferences towards seafood, and potential supply chain disruptions. Additionally, increased domestic production or advancements in mussel preservation techniques may influence future import levels to India.
