In 2023, the production value of whole fresh spiny lobsters in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was not explicitly provided, but forecasts from 2024 onwards highlight a significant upward trend. The forecasted growth from 2024 to 2028 shows an annual increase in value, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over five years indicating robust growth. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, the production value increases by approximately 16.13%, with consistent growth each subsequent year through 2028.
Looking forward, key trends to monitor include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on spiny lobster habitats and populations.
- Changes in consumer demand driven by sustainability concerns and shifts in dietary preferences.
- Regulatory effects, including fishing quotas and trade policies, on production capabilities and pricing.
