The forecast for whole fresh picked dogfish production in the UK shows a significant year-on-year decline. Starting from an estimated 22.2 metric tons in 2024, the production is expected to fall to 17.9 metric tons in 2025, a reduction of 19.37%. From 2025 to 2026, a further decline of 23.53% to 13.68 metric tons is anticipated. The downward trend continues in 2027, with a fall of 30.2% to 9.55 metric tons, culminating in a projected production of 5.51 metric tons in 2028, a steep 42.29% drop from the previous year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years highlights an average yearly decrease of nearly 28.6%.
Future trends to watch out for include regulatory impacts on capture fisheries, consumer appetite for sustainable fish sources, possibly leading to diversification into aquaculture or alternative seafood. Global market dynamics and environmental sustainability practices may also influence future production and consumption patterns in the UK.
