The import of prepared or preserved crab to the UK is forecasted to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028, with an anticipated growth from 2.74 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.12 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth rate averages around 3.4%, reflecting a moderate yet consistent upward trend. This growth is likely driven by increased demand for ready-to-eat seafood products and changing consumer preferences.
Looking ahead, future trends to monitor include potential fluctuations in global crab supply, changes in UK import regulations, and shifts in consumer dietary trends that could further influence the demand for imported prepared or preserved crab.
