In 2023, the sea urchin production value for human consumption in the UK stood at approximately 1.85 thousand Euros. The forecast for 2024 shows a 7% increase to 1.98 thousand Euros.

Year-on-year, sea urchin production value is projected to grow by 6.6% from 2024 to 2025, followed by annual increases of around 5.7% continuing through to 2028. This steady growth results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.1% over the five-year forecast period (2023-2028).

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing demand for sustainable seafood, including sea urchins, could influence production methods and output.
The impact of policy changes and Brexit on the fisheries sector may alter trade dynamics.
Technological advancements in aquaculture could improve productivity and revenues.
