The forecast for fresh thickback sole production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 181.49 thousand euros in 2024, the value is expected to decrease steadily each year, reaching 139.75 thousand euros by 2028. This reflects a clear downward trend, with year-on-year percentage reductions in production value becoming increasingly pronounced over the period. Notably, from 2023 to 2024, there was already an observable decrease, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 5-year forecast period suggests a significant average annual contraction in production value.
In terms of future trends, it is important to monitor potential influences such as regulatory changes, environmental impacts on fish stocks, and shifts in consumer demand for sustainable and locally sourced products. Additionally, developments in aquaculture and innovation within the seafood sector could also play a role in shaping production trends.
