In 2023, the demand for freshwater fish in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland stood at an estimated value of 231 Thousand Metric Tons. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a steady annual growth in demand, increasing from 232.51 to 239.01 Thousand Metric Tons. The year-on-year variation averages around 0.70%, indicating a stable market with moderate growth. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is approximately 0.70%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of sustainability practices, changes in consumer dietary preferences towards health-conscious choices, and the influence of post-Brexit trade agreements on the seafood industry. Increased focus on sustainable fishing might also affect the supply dynamics and pricing in the long term.
