In 2023, the total sand sole production in capture fisheries in the UK was 32.54 metric tons. For the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, a gradual decline is projected with values dropping from 31.99 metric tons in 2024 to 29.96 metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year percentage declines start at approximately 1.6% from 2024 to 2025 and slightly decrease annually to end the period with an overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -1.63% over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from regulatory changes, evolving environmental factors, and shifts in domestic and international demand which could further influence production levels.
