The forecast for filleted fresh European plaice production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK shows a gradual increase in value from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.61 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024 and reaching 3.06 by 2028. This represents a consistent annual growth in value, reflecting an average compound annual growth rate over the forecast period. In 2023, the value stood at a slightly lower level, paving the way for this upward trend observed in the subsequent years.

Key trends to monitor:

Growing consumer demand for sustainable seafood, which could impact production practices.
Potential fluctuations in capture fisheries due to climate change and marine resource management policies.
Shifts in trade regulations and tariffs affecting the UK seafood market post-Brexit.
