The forecast for the total production of sandeels and sandlances in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, based on the values in thousand Euros per metric ton. Compared to the previous year, the forecasted values show a decrease by approximately 2.78% from 2024 to 2025, 2.86% from 2025 to 2026, 2.21% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.01% from 2027 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicates a negative trend in the production value over these five years.
Future trends to watch for will include potential shifts in market demand and environmental regulations impacting fisheries. The ongoing decline suggests a need to closely monitor sustainability practices and technological advancements in the fisheries sector to maintain or enhance production efficiencies.
