In 2023, the production of fresh sharks for human consumption in capture fisheries in the UK stood at approximately 1.31 Thousand Euros Per Metric Ton. Projections from 2024 to 2028 indicate a slight but consistent decline in value, dropping from 1.3 in 2024 to 1.28 by 2028. Over the last two years of forecast, the year-on-year variation shows stability, but with a decreasing trend by the end of this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is negative, reflecting the gradual reduction in value.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes, shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood, and the influence of global market dynamics on this niche market segment. It will also be essential to observe technological advancements in fishing practices that may alter cost structures and affect the production value.
