The UK’s fresh anglerfish production in capture fisheries is projected to increase from 10.8 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 10.93 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a slow but steady growth with year-on-year increments of 0.28% from 2024 to 2025, 0.28% from 2025 to 2026, 0.37% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.33% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these forecasted years is around 0.3%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in market demand for anglerfish, potentially influenced by consumer preferences or sustainability initiatives.
Impact of Brexit-related policies or fishing quotas on production volumes.
Environmental factors such as climate change affecting fish populations and fisheries.
