In 2023, the production of whole fresh parrotfishes in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at a modest base, with a notable forecasted increase to 200.9 metric tons in 2024. Projections indicate a consistent upward trend reaching 278.3 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth suggests a steady increase: approximately 10.6% from 2024 to 2025, 9% from 2025 to 2026, 7.7% from 2026 to 2027, and 6.7% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is anticipated to reflect sustained and healthy expansion.
Future trends to watch for in the parrotfish industry include shifts in consumer dietary preferences potentially driving demand. Environmental and regulatory changes might impact fishing quotas and sustainability practices, thereby affecting production levels. Additionally, technological advancements in fishing techniques could enhance efficiency and yield, contributing positively to future capacity.
