The forecast for the production of gutted fresh European hake in French capture fisheries reveals a steady but slight year-on-year increase in value from 2024 to 2028, starting at 3.45 in 2024 and reaching 3.49 by 2028, in thousand euros per metric ton. The year-on-year growth rate remains marginal, illustrating a stable market environment. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period is minimal, indicating consistent but minor growth over the years. In 2023, the value had fluctuated minimally, implying a strong baseline going into the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of sustainable fishing policies in the EU, which may influence supply.
Potential shifts in consumer demand for European hake, driven by changing dietary preferences or economic conditions.
Technological advancements in capture and processing techniques could impact production efficiency and cost.
