As of 2023, the production value of fresh rocklings in capture fisheries in France was not specified, but forecasts from 2024 suggest a declining trend. The value per metric ton is expected to decrease from €261.47 in 2024 to €180.55 in 2028. This represents a steady annual contraction with notable year-on-year reductions: 2025 sees a -7.9%, 2026 a -8.43%, 2027 a -9.12%, and 2028 a -9.93% decrease. The compound annual growth rate over this five-year period would show an ongoing downward trajectory for rockling production.
Future trends to watch include factors influencing this decline, such as potential shifts in ecological conditions, regulatory changes impacting fishing quotas, or evolving market demands. Increasing sustainability pressures and technological advancements in fishing efficiency may alter future forecasts.
