Forecasts suggest that the UK's total Atlantic Cod production in capture fisheries for human consumption will increase progressively, with values rising from approximately €21 million in 2024 to more than €24 million by 2028. When looking at year-on-year growth, the production value is expected to experience commendable increases, consistent with rising demand and sustainable fisheries policies. Notably, there is a positive compounded annual growth rate over the five-year forecast, indicating steady growth in the sector.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change on fish populations and distribution.
Adoption of more sustainable fishing practices.
Potential changes in regulatory policies impacting fishery practices and production costs.
Adjustments in consumer preferences potentially affecting demand for sustainable seafood.
