In 2023, the UK’s fresh scallops and pectens production stood at a certain value for capture fisheries aimed at human consumption. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted average annual growth rate (CAGR) in value terms is steady, reflecting a positive outlook. Year-on-year growth is modest, hovering around 1.5% to 1.7% annually. This indicates a stable increase in value per metric ton over the forecast period, suggesting a resilient market environment.
Future trends to watch for include consumer demand shifts due to changing dietary preferences, potential impacts of environmental regulations, and advancements in sustainable fishing practices which could influence both supply levels and pricing dynamics in this sector.
