The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 reveals a declining trend in gutted fresh finfish production for human consumption in France. Starting at 41.78 thousand metric tons in 2024, production is expected to decrease annually, dropping to 38.56 thousand metric tons by 2028.
When examining year-on-year variation, production is anticipated to decline at decreasing rates over the years. Specifically, the sector is projected to experience a drop of approximately 1.93% from 2024 to 2025, followed by 1.98% from 2025 to 2026, 1.99% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.03% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period suggests an average annual decline of approximately 2.00%.
Future trends to watch for include environmental regulations impacting fishing quotas, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options, and technological advancements in aquaculture that may influence traditional capture fisheries' production levels. These factors could either exacerbate or mitigate the projected decline in production volumes.
