In 2023, the fresh blue shark production in capture fisheries in the UK stood at a certain metric tonnage, forming the basis for future forecasts. From 2024 onwards, a consistent downward trend is observed with notable year-on-year decreases in production: 14.76% in 2025, 17.32% in 2026, 20.27% in 2027, and 24.58% in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period indicates a significant average annual decline in production.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes in UK fisheries, market demand shifts, and environmental factors affecting shark populations. Adapting to sustainable practices may further influence these production figures in the long term.
