In 2023, the gutted fresh European plaice production in UK capture fisheries for human consumption stood at a baseline yet undisclosed in this analysis. Forecast data from 2024 indicates a progressive increase in value, rising from 2.69 to 2.95 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. The year-on-year percentage increase maintains a steady escalation, revealing a trend of gradual growth. As the forecast extends to a five-year horizon, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest increase, reflecting consistent market demand and potential regulatory impacts.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential effects of post-Brexit trade agreements on fisheries
- Environmental regulatory changes impacting fishing practices
- Fluctuations in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options
