In 2023, the production value for gutted fresh Atlantic mackerel in capture fisheries in the UK stood at a pre-forecast level. Starting from 2024, the forecasted data shows a steady year-on-year growth with values increasing from 1.94 in 2024, 1.99 in 2025, 2.03 in 2026, 2.08 in 2027, up to 2.12 in 2028 thousand euros per metric ton.

Future trends to watch for include:
- Monitoring changes in marine policy and environmental regulations that may impact catch limits and production strategies.
- Assessing the impact of climate change on fish populations and habitat, which may influence catch forecasts.
- Evaluating shifts in consumer demand and market prices, potentially affecting the economic viability of the fishery industry.
- Integrating technological advancements that may enhance efficiencies in capture and processing.
