In 2023, the production of gutted fresh thresher sharks for human consumption in the UK's capture fisheries stood at 0.17 metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline in production, with year-on-year decreases of approximately 13.33% from 2023 to 2024, 13.33% from 2024 to 2025, 15.38% from 2025 to 2026, 10.91% from 2026 to 2027, and 16.33% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecast period suggests an average annual decline of approximately 12.04%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Regulatory changes in fishing practices impacting supply.
- Shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood, potentially affecting market dynamics.
- Ongoing environmental changes and their effects on shark populations and habitat.
