In 2023, the production of fresh cods, hakes, and haddocks in France's capture fisheries for human consumption stood at 30.87 thousand metric tons. Forecasts for the coming years indicate a declining trend, with production expected to decrease from 28.94 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 21.4 thousand metric tons by 2028.
The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 are:
- -6.55% from 2024 to 2025
- -7.03% from 2025 to 2026
- -7.44% from 2026 to 2027
- -8.00% from 2027 to 2028
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is approximately -7.09%, reflecting a consistent decline in production over this period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on fish stocks, regulatory changes in the fishing industry, and shifts in consumer demand towards more sustainable seafood options. Increased focus on aquaculture as an alternative source may also influence capture fisheries production figures.
