The UK's whole fresh blue whiting poutassou production in capture fisheries for human consumption exhibits a forecasted growth from 2024 to 2028, starting at 317.35 metric tons in 2024 and reaching 396.37 metric tons by 2028. Compared to 309.45 metric tons in 2023, this represents consistent annual increases. The year-on-year growth is approximately 6.42% from 2024 to 2025, followed by a steady annual growth rate of around 5.9% to 5.1% until 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is projected to be just over 5.71%, indicating a stable upward trend.
Future trends to observe include potential impacts of climate change on marine stocks, policy amendments in UK fisheries management, and consumer demand shifts toward sustainable seafood. These factors could significantly influence blue whiting poutassou production dynamics going forwards.
