The UK's lobster production in capture fisheries for human consumption is projected to decline steadily over the next five years. The forecasted trend shows a decrease from 6.38 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 5.43 thousand metric tons in 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a notable downward trajectory. The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 indicate a consistent drop, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) revealing an average annual decrease over this period.
Future trends to watch for:
