In 2023, the value of fresh edible crab production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK stood at 53.8 million Euros. Forecasts indicate a positive growth trajectory beginning in 2024, with incremental rises each year, reaching 63.445 million Euros by 2028. From 2024 to 2028, the year-on-year growth ranges from 3.64% to 3.10%. The estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is 3.45%.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from changes in marine policies, climate conditions affecting crab habitats, and market demand fluctuations. Sustainable fishing practices and ecological considerations will also play crucial roles in shaping this industry.
