The production of whole fresh green crab in the UK capture fisheries for human consumption is forecast to grow steadily from 176.87 metric tons in 2024 to 187.88 metric tons by 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year growth, with 1.61% from 2024 to 2025, 1.55% from 2025 to 2026, 1.49% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.44% from 2027 to 2028.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 1.53%. This consistent increase reflects a stable demand and effective capture strategies, beginning from the production levels of 175.62 metric tons in 2023.
Future trends to monitor include potential impacts from sustainable fishing policies, climate change, and shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable seafood options. Additionally, technological advancements in capture and logistics could further influence production capacities.
