The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled whole flatfish to the UK shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, growing from 1.3102 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.4404 million kilograms in 2028. Analyzing the year-on-year variations, we observe a consistent upward trend with slight increments annually, indicating stable demand or consumption patterns. Compared to 2023, where figures are unspecified, the projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is positive, reflecting a modest but sustained growth in imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of trade policies post-Brexit on seafood imports.
Environmental concerns leading to changes in fishing regulations.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced products.
Economic factors influencing exchange rates and purchasing power in the UK.
