The forecasted production value of gutted fresh blue shark in the UK capture fisheries is expected to consistently decrease from 2024 to 2028. The production value is forecasted to fall from 1.97 thousand euros in 2024 to 1.53 thousand euros in 2028, indicating a steady decline. When compared to the 2023 production standing, this forecast reflects a trend of diminishing value. The annual decrease from 2024 onwards illustrates a year-on-year reduction, with a cumulative average growth rate reflecting a sustained downturn.
Key future trends to monitor include:
- Impact of regulatory changes on capture fisheries and sustainable fishing practices.
- Market demand fluctuations for blue shark and potential shifts towards alternative seafood.
- Advancements in fishing technology and supply chain efficiency that could influence production costs and consumer pricing.
