The projected import volume of processed and preserved fish, crustaceans, and molluscs to the UK is set to steadily increase from 515.8 million kilograms in 2024 to 546.87 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a gradual average annual growth rate, often referred to as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), over the years. The trend indicates rising demand or consumption needs in the UK market.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences impacting specific types of seafood.
- Regulatory changes affecting import policies post-Brexit.
- Global supply chain dynamics influencing price and availability.
- Environmental factors affecting the sustainability and sourcing of seafood imports.
