In 2023, the fresh molluscs' production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK was valued at a certain base level. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a gradual increase in production value, with each year showing a 2-3% rise from the previous year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected to be modest yet steady, indicating sustainable growth in the industry.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of environmental policies on production.
- Technological advancements that might enhance capture efficiencies.
- Shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood products.
- Post-Brexit trade policies affecting the seafood market.
