The UK’s fresh small-spotted catshark production in capture fisheries shows a positive growth trajectory from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production stood at a lower level compared to 2024’s projected 2.46 thousand metric tons. This steady increase reflects an average annual growth rate enhancing capture output each year. Year-on-year growth is consistently around 4.5%, while the cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years presents an upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of environmental regulations on fishing practices.
- Market demand fluctuations for shark-related products.
- Technological advancements in capture and sustainability methods.
