As of 2023, the production of gutted fresh gurnards and searobins in the UK's capture fisheries for human consumption stood at 22.5 metric tons. The forecast data from 2024 onwards indicates a steady annual increase in production volume, with values projected at 23.4 metric tons in 2024 and rising to 27.04 metric tons by 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 3.6%, reflecting a consistent upward trend in production volumes over this period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood, which could impact the demand and production of gurnards and searobins.
Potential regulatory changes affecting fisheries management that could alter production capabilities and limits.
Economic factors and trade policies that might influence market access and competitiveness for UK fisheries.
