The import of fresh or chilled whole trout to the US is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. The volume is expected to grow from 6.8833 million kilograms in 2024 to 7.8988 million kilograms in 2028. This demonstrates a consistent upward trend of trout imports, indicating a growing demand or supply chain efficiency. However, we lack the data for 2023 to provide precise year-on-year changes or calculate the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) accurately.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer preferences towards more sustainable seafood options, potential disruptions in the supply chain affecting import numbers, and any developments in domestic trout farming which might influence these forecasts. These factors could significantly impact the US import volumes over the long term.
