The forecast for fresh freshwater and diadromous fishes production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK shows a steady value of 6.56 thousand euros per metric ton from 2024 to 2026, with a slight increase to 6.57 in 2027 and 2028. Compared to the year 2023, the forecasted figures indicate minimal growth in pricing, where prices stabilized with a year-on-year percentage change remaining virtually unchanged. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years seems negligible. In 2023, the standing value was similar, emphasizing stability in the industry.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential impacts of environmental policies on fish stock sustainability.
Technological advancements in fishing that could alter cost dynamics.
Economic shifts and their influence on consumer demand within the UK and EU markets.
Brexit implications for trade and pricing policies.
