The forecast for UK fresh megrims production in capture fisheries for human consumption indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. The production is projected to decrease from 1.13 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.05 thousand metric tons by 2028. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) decline of approximately 1.8% per year. Year-on-year variations suggest a steady negative trend over the five-year period.
From a strategic outlook, future trends to monitor include potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas, and shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable seafood practices. These factors could influence the production volumes and market dynamics significantly.
