The production value of headed gutted fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in the UK's capture fisheries is forecasted to see steady growth from 2024 onwards. In 2023, the production stood at a notable figure, serving as a baseline for future projections. The forecast indicates an increase from 9.42 thousand Euros per metric ton in 2024 to 11.31 thousand Euros by 2028. This consistent rise represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 5.2% in 2025 and around 4.7% in 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2024-2028 is expected to average about 4.67%.
Future trends to monitor include technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices and the impact of regulatory policies on capture fisheries. Shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainably sourced seafood may further influence production and pricing trends, as might environmental changes affecting fish populations.
