In 2023, the production of fresh anglerfishes in the UK capture fisheries was approximately 1.65 thousand metric tons. By 2028, production is forecasted to decline to 1.59 thousand metric tons. Observing year-on-year variations, the production is set to decrease by 0.6% in 2025 and by 0.62% annually until 2028. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average decline of around 0.6% per year. This reflects a gradual yet steady decrease in production.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of regulatory changes on fishing quotas and sustainability initiatives affecting supply.
- Market demand fluctuations driven by consumer preferences and price changes.
- Environmental factors such as climate change affecting marine ecosystems and fish populations.
