The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled whole flatfish to the UK from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend, beginning with a value of 6.6778 million USD in 2024 and reaching 7.381 million USD by 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year increase, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) demonstrating an average yearly rise that mirrors a stable demand trajectory. It's important to note that we lack the specific value for 2023 to provide precise variation percentages over the last two years.
Future trends that could influence these forecasts include potential changes in trade regulations due to Brexit, any shifts in domestic fishing industry capabilities, and consumer preference trends toward sustainably sourced seafood. Additionally, geopolitical developments and economic recovery post-pandemic may also impact import volumes and values.
