In 2023, the value of fresh scallops and pectens production in capture fisheries in the UK was 2.75 thousand euros per metric ton. Forecasted data indicates a steady increase from 2024 through 2028, with values rising from 2.8 to 2.97 thousand euros per metric ton. The year-on-year growth rates show modest increases: 1.79% in 2025, 1.40% in 2026, 1.38% in 2027, and 1.37% in 2028. This results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.48% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental regulations, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and changes in consumer demand, which may influence market prices and production volumes in the coming years. Monitoring exchange rates and global trade policies will also be crucial as they could significantly affect the profitability of exports.
