In 2023, the production of whole fresh European Hake in capture fisheries in France stood at approximately 1.27 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, a declining trend is observed, with the production forecasted to decrease from 1.23 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.06 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year decrease ranging from -3.3% to -4.5% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is approximately -3.58%, indicating a consistent downturn in production volumes.
Trends to watch for in the future include potential changes in European policies regarding sustainable fishing practices and ecological impacts on fish populations. Additionally, advancements in aquaculture technology could influence the balance between wild capture and farmed fishing, affecting overall industry dynamics.
