In the forecast from 2024 to 2028, the production of whole fresh megrims in France's capture fisheries for human consumption shows a significant downward trend. The production volume, starting at 205.22 metric tons in 2024, is projected to drastically decline to 49.2 metric tons by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period highlights a steep average decrease each year. Unfortunately, data for 2023 is not provided, but observing year-on-year contractions, particularly between 2025 and 2026 and beyond, suggests persistent market challenges.

Future trends to watch include:

Sustainability and regulation impacts on fishing practices.
Shifts in demand for alternative fish species affecting market dynamics.
Technological advancements in fisheries potentially reversing the production decline.
