In 2023, the production of gutted fresh European eel in the UK stood at 520 euros per metric ton. From 2024 to 2028, a year-on-year decline is observed, with values decreasing from 485.41 to 343.19 euros per metric ton. This equates to an average annual decrease (CAGR) of approximately 8.2% over this period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of regulatory changes or conservation efforts on eel populations and capture levels.
- Fluctuations in market demand, possibly influenced by consumer preferences and alternative seafood options.
- Economic conditions and currency fluctuations affecting pricing in the eurozone.
