The forecast for fresh catsharks production in capture fisheries in the UK shows a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 612.16 Euros per metric ton in 2024 and reaching 617.02 Euros per metric ton by 2028. The projected year-on-year growth is relatively modest, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period averages a minimal rise annually.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, affecting catshark habitats and populations.
Regulatory changes in UK and EU fisheries policies, which could influence capture practices and market dynamics.
Consumer demand shifts towards sustainable seafood, potentially increasing market pressure for responsibly sourced catsharks.
