In 2023, the UK imported approximately 161.5 million kilograms of frozen fish fillets. The forecast for the import volume from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady, albeit slow, increase. Specifically, this extends from 162.35 million kilograms in 2024 to 165.8 million kilograms in 2028, demonstrating modest annual growth rates. The year-on-year variation hovers around 0.5% from 2024 onwards. This trend suggests a stable demand, driven by consistent consumption patterns and market stability.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and ethically sourced seafood, which could impact import requirements. Additionally, any changes in trade regulations post-Brexit and environmental policies might influence import volumes and market dynamics.
