The forecast for filleted fresh European plaice production in capture fisheries in the UK indicates a gradual increase in value from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.6 thousand euros per metric ton and rising to 3.04 thousand euros per metric ton. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 4.2% over the five-year period, demonstrating a stable upward trend driven by factors such as increasing demand and potential enhancements in fishing techniques or management policies.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of environmental regulations on capture fisheries, potentially affecting supply and prices.
Changes in consumer preferences and demand for sustainably sourced seafood.
Technological advancements in fishing and processing which may influence cost efficiencies and value.
