In 2023, fresh crustaceans production in the UK’s capture fisheries for human consumption stood at an equivalent value of 118 million Euros. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual increase from 119.98 million Euros to 125 million Euros, indicating a steady annual growth rate.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of Brexit and policy changes on export opportunities and seafood tariffs.
Environmental regulations affecting capture methods and sustainability practices.
Technological advancements in fishing that could potentially boost yields.
