In 2023, fresh garfish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK stood at approximately 0.20 Metric Tons. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a consistent decline in production: 2025 decreases by 21.1%, 2026 by 20%, 2027 by 32.5%, and 2028 by 43.2%. This represents a negative CAGR over five years, reflecting diminishing trends in garfish production.
Future trends to watch:
- Continued declines could result from environmental pressures, regulatory changes, or shifts in consumption patterns.
- Opportunities may arise in sustainable fishing methods or alternative resources meeting consumer demand.
- Market dynamics and technological advancements could influence future forecasts.
