The forecast for whole fresh Blonde ray production in UK capture fisheries from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady year-on-year increase. From a baseline of values in 2023, the projections starting in 2024 at €831.32k, rising to €961.95k by 2028, represent consistent growth. This reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.8% over the five-year span. Such growth suggests a healthy demand in the domestic market for this fish species.
Future trends to watch for in this sector include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on fish populations.
- Regulatory shifts post-Brexit affecting fisheries management.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options.
- Innovation in fishing practices and technology to improve yield.
