In 2023, the UK production of fresh Northern Prawn in capture fisheries was at 0.65 metric tons. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a gradual decline in production, with a projected output of 0.6 metric tons in 2024 declining to 0.53 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations show a consistent decrease of roughly 3 to 4% annually. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is anticipated to depict a similar declining trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, regulatory adjustments in fisheries management, and changes in consumer demand patterns, all of which could further influence Northern Prawn production levels.
