In 2024, smoked trout imports to the UK are forecasted to value 2.5731 million USD, marking the beginning of an upward trend. This is expected to grow steadily, reaching 3.3076 million USD by 2028. Year-on-year growth is forecasted to be approximately 7.2% from 2024 to 2025, and a consistent rate through to 2028 signifies a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 6.4% over the five years. This suggests robust demand and an expanding market for smoked trout within the UK, outperforming its value in 2023.
Future trends to watch include consumer preferences for sustainable and locally-sourced seafood, potential impacts of trade agreements post-Brexit, and evolving dietary trends such as increased interest in healthy, omega-rich fish options.
