The whole fresh catshark production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK is forecasted to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, with values declining from 448.09 euros per metric ton in 2024 to 433.28 euros per metric ton by 2028. Comparatively, catshark production values stood at 451.00 euros per metric ton in 2023.
Year-on-year percentages show a consistent downward trend averaging around 1% per year. This aligns with a compound annual growth rate that reflects a steady decline over this five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in UK fisheries regulations and sustainability measures.
- Changes in consumer demand due to evolving dietary preferences and ecological awareness.
- Impact of international market competition and trade dynamics post-Brexit.
