In 2023, fresh tub gurnard production in the UK's capture fisheries for human consumption stood below the forecasted 162.9 thousand euros projected for 2024. From 2024 to 2028, the production is expected to grow steadily, reaching 191.29 thousand euros by 2028.
The year-on-year growth rates are 4.5% for 2025, 4.2% for 2026, 4.0% for 2027, and 3.7% for 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year period is approximately 4.1%.
Future trends to watch for include sustainability practices in capture fisheries, emerging demand for alternative fish species, and potential regulatory changes affecting fishery operations. Monitoring these trends will be critical for assessing the long-term viability and growth of the tub gurnard market.
