As of 2023, the UK imported dried, salted or in brine, smoked scallops, including queen scallops, valued at approximately $6.2 million. The forecast indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 1.6%. Year-on-year growth is projected to be around 1.7% annually. This trend reflects a consistent, modest increase, mirroring broader consumer interest in diversified seafood options.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and premium seafood could further influence import values.
Potential impacts of regulatory changes post-Brexit on seafood trade and tariffs.
Global supply chain fluctuations and climate-related effects on scallop harvesting.
