The forecasted pelagic fish import volume in the United Kingdom indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with volumes rising from 625.57 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 637.59 thousand metric tons in 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at approximately 622.5 thousand metric tons, marking a consistent growth trend annually. The year-on-year growth rate is modestly increasing and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests a gradual upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer preferences towards pelagic fish, the impact of economic factors such as trade agreements and tariffs post-Brexit, and potential shifts in policy regarding sustainable fishing practices that could affect import volumes.
