In 2023, the total green crab production in capture fisheries in the UK stood at an estimated value, with upcoming forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicating a steady yet slight decline each year. This trend suggests a diminishing market with compound annual growth rate (CAGR) presenting a modest contraction over this five-year period.
Future trends to watch include:
- Impact of regulatory changes and environmental policies on fisheries operations.
- Potential shifts in consumer demand for green crab products due to changing dietary preferences.
- The influence of climate change on marine habitats and species distribution leading to supply chain disruptions.
