The forecast for gutted frozen aquatic animals production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 3.53 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024 to 2.39 thousand euros per metric ton in 2028. Compared to 2023, this indicates that the value per metric ton is projected to continuously decrease. The year-on-year percentage decline accelerates over the forecasted period, reflecting a compound annual growth rate decreasing trend over the 5 years. Critical focus should be placed on evaluating the underlying factors influencing this downturn, such as market demand, competition, or regulatory changes.
Future trends to watch for include policy changes in fisheries management, technological advancements in freezing and distribution processes, and shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and locally sourced seafood. Additionally, geopolitical factors and international trade relations may impact the cost structure and pricing of these aquatic products.
