By 2024, the projected Japanese carpet shell production in French capture fisheries is 18.2 metric tons, slightly higher than the actual 2023 figures. Analysts expect a steady decline with each subsequent year, decreasing to 17 metric tons by 2028. This forecast shows a consistent downward trend with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a marginal contraction. Year-on-year, the declines are subtle yet consistent, reflecting a less volatile, predictable pattern.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from environmental regulations, shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood, and any industry innovations that might enhance capture efficiency or alter harvesting approaches.
