In 2023, the production of Fresh Atlantic Herring in the UK was recorded at 35.41 thousand metric tons. From 2024 onwards, the production is forecasted to decline, decreasing each year through 2028. The year-on-year decrease is gradual: 2025 sees a 2.46% drop from 2024, and a 2.43% decrease follows in 2026. This decreasing trend continues with 2.47% in 2027 and 2.47% in 2028, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.55% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in fishery management policies, the impact of climate change on fish populations and habitats, and shifting market demands which may affect fishing activity and subsequently production levels.
