In 2023, the value for fresh shrimps and prawns production in capture fisheries stood at 3.37 thousand euros per metric ton. From 2024 onwards, the forecast shows a slight decline in value, decreasing to 3.35 in 2024, 3.32 in 2025, 3.3 in 2026, 3.28 in 2027, and 3.25 in 2028. This represents a negative annual growth rate of approximately 0.60% from 2023 to 2028, reflecting a gradual downward trend in production value for fresh shrimps and prawns in the UK fisheries sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in consumer demand for seafood, which may influence production values.
Impact of climate change on marine life and capture fisheries.
Regulatory changes and their effects on fishing practices and production costs.
