As of 2023, the total production of Great Atlantic scallops in UK capture fisheries was approximately 25.05 thousand metric tons. Since then, the forecast data indicates a slight decline. By 2024, production is expected to be 25.01, and it will gradually decrease to 24.9 by 2028. This represents a relatively small year-on-year decline, highlighting a stable industry with less than 1% annual reduction over the forecast period. A longer-term Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reveals a negligible decline, underlining stability in scallop production.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from environmental changes, regulatory shifts on fisheries management, and technological advancements that could enhance productivity. These factors will be key in maintaining or possibly increasing scallop production in coming years.
