In 2023, the UK imported prepared or preserved mackerel worth an estimated 28.8 million USD. Forecasts indicate a steady year-on-year growth in imports from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing from 29.646 million USD in 2024 to 33.112 million USD in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is approximately 2.8%, showing consistent incremental increases each year.
Future trends to watch for include fluctuations in global fish supply due to climate change, potential trade policy shifts post-Brexit, and evolving consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood, which could impact import volumes and values significantly.
