In 2023, the production of fresh river eels in capture fisheries in the UK stood at 2.20 metric tons. Forecasted data indicates a gradual increase over the coming years, reaching 2.39 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates for this period demonstrate modest increments: 1.34% from 2024 to 2025, and similarly, 1.76% from 2026 to 2027. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 1.65%, suggesting a stable but slow upward trend in production volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential impact from environmental regulations, climate change effects on eel populations, and changes in consumer demand for sustainable seafood. These factors could significantly influence production volumes and market dynamics.
