The forecast for crustacean production in the UK's capture fisheries indicates a steady increase in value from 5.31 to 5.68 thousand Euros per metric ton between 2024 and 2028. Between 2024 and 2025, the value rises by approximately 1.88%, while from 2025 to 2026, it further increases by about 1.66%. For 2026 to 2027 and 2027 to 2028, the growth persists at around 1.64% each year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be approximately 1.88%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, which could influence the availability and cost of crustaceans. Additionally, policy changes in fisheries management and international trade agreements may also affect future production and market values.
