The production of filleted fresh sharks, rays, and chimaeras in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK is forecasted to decline steadily between 2024 and 2028. The projected values decrease from 923.02 euros per metric ton in 2024 to 666.32 euros per metric ton in 2028. Year-on-year variations show a continuous drop, with an annual average decrease of approximately 7.91% from 2024 to 2025 and a consistent downtrend each subsequent year. This shift represents a constant decline over this period with a noticeable compounding annual growth rate illustrating an overall decrease in market value.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts due to sustainability concerns and regulatory changes impacting capture fisheries. Additionally, fluctuations in consumer demand and alternative protein sources' emergence may influence future production dynamics.
