The forecast for the crustaceans market size volume per capita in the United Kingdom indicates a gradual decline from 3.14 kg in 2024 to 3.09 kg in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of 0.64% from 2024 to 2025, and 0.32% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years shows a steady decline which suggests a mature market potentially facing challenges such as sustainability issues or changing consumer preferences. Note that data for 2023 is essential to understand the baseline, but is not provided here.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential impact of sustainability and environmental concerns on consumer preferences.
- Shifts in dietary trends, such as an increase in plant-based diets, which may reduce demand for crustaceans.
- Impact of trade regulations post-Brexit on imports and price volatility.
- Innovations in aquaculture that might create more local sources and potentially reverse the declining trend.
