The forecast for alive fresh Caramote prawn production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a declining trend from 0.8 metric tons in 2024 to 0.6 metric tons by 2028. This projection indicates a steady decrease, with a notable year-on-year decline of 12.5% from 2024 to 2025 and a flatline between 2025 and 2026. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average decline of around 6.96% per year. The standing production level in 2023 was slightly higher, which marks the start of this downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in capture fisheries regulations, environmental factors impacting prawn habitats, and shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options. Additionally, technological advancements in aquaculture may provide alternative sources for prawn production, possibly influencing capture fisheries output.
