In 2023, the production of frozen flounders, halibuts, and soles in UK capture fisheries was the baseline for projections. Forecasts indicate a steady increase in value from €97.59 thousand in 2024 to €110.98 thousand by 2028, with annual increments ranging between 3.54% to 3.88%. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated at approximately 3.32%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Sustainability regulations and their impact on fish stock management.
Technological advancements in fishing methods and freezing technology that could affect production efficiency.
Market demand shifts due to consumer preference or economic conditions influencing export opportunities.
Potential impacts of climate change on fishery distributions and yields.
