In 2023, the UK recorded an actual production of frozen Atlantic cod for human consumption valued at approximately 5.3 million Euros. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady year-on-year increase, with values expected to reach 6.1571 million Euros by 2028. Specifically, the annual growth rates indicate a consistent rise of around 3% between 2024 and 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated at approximately 3.1%, reflecting a stable upward trajectory in production value.
Key future trends to watch include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options which may influence demand for wild-caught versus farmed fish.
- Regulatory changes in fishery management, which could impact the availability and pricing of Atlantic cod.
- Technological advancements in freezing and distribution that may enhance the cod supply chain efficiency.
