In 2023, the production of gutted fresh small-spotted catshark in UK capture fisheries stood at a value of 83.6 thousand Euros. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 show a steady increase, starting at 87.68 thousand Euros in 2024, reaching 103.36 thousand Euros by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth rate, with notable increases of approximately 4.6% between consecutive years, reflecting a positive outlook for this sector. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is projected to be approximately 4.76%.
Future trends to monitor include potential regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas and sustainability practices, which could impact production volumes. Additionally, shifts in consumer demand for alternative seafood options might influence pricing and production strategies.
