In 2023, the production of frozen flounders, halibuts, and soles in the UK's capture fisheries stood at approximately 33 metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a steady increase in production, starting from 34.01 metric tons in 2024 to 37.93 metric tons by 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 3% from 2024 onwards, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 2.8% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of sustainability initiatives, regulatory changes in fisheries management, and market demand shifts influenced by dietary trends and economic factors. Technological advancements in fishing methods and logistics may also play a significant role in shaping the capture fisheries' landscape.
