The production of alive fresh crabs and sea-spiders in France's capture fisheries is set to display a steady year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 2.42 to 2.67 thousand metric tons. Looking back, the 2023 production level stood at 2.36 thousand metric tons, setting the stage for subsequent increases. From 2024 onwards, we observe annual growth rates fluctuating around 2.4%, reflecting moderate but consistent expansion in this sector. The average annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is projected to be approximately 2.5%, underlining a stable upward trajectory.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased demand for sustainable seafood could drive innovative fishing practices in the sector.
Climate changes and regulatory adjustments may impact future capture capacities and techniques.
Technological advancements in fishing methods and distribution could further support production efficiency.
