The forecast for UK’s capture fisheries in scallops and pectens production for 2024 to 2028 shows a steady rise in value per metric ton, beginning at 2.8 thousand euros in 2024 and reaching 2.97 thousand euros by 2028. This gradual increase reflects an average annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period. The year-on-year variations are small, indicating a stable upward trend. In 2023, the prior year to forecasts, these values showed a consistent foundation that supports the predicted trajectory.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of regulatory changes on fisheries, technological advancements in sustainable fishing, and international competition affecting prices. Monitoring economic recovery phases post-2023 and how they affect consumer demand and export potential is also crucial.
