In 2024, the forecast for the production value of whole frozen Atlantic mackerel for human consumption in the UK is projected at 1.48 thousand euros per metric ton. This is an upward trend from the previous year, 2023, which stood at approximately 1.44 thousand euros per metric ton. Analyzing the year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028, the forecast demonstrates a consistent upward trajectory with incremental increases annually: 2.70%, 2.63%, 2.63%, and 1.88%. The compound annual growth rate over the projected period is indicative of a moderate increase.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of changing consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood and potential regulatory changes in fisheries management. Additionally, currency fluctuations and international trade relations could influence the economic viability of exports, affecting production levels.
