In 2023, the production of gutted fresh shads in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood below the forecast of 4.74 thousand euros for 2024. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent increase is projected, with annual values set to rise from 4.74 to 8.1 thousand euros. This consistent upward trend reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years, indicating a healthy growth trajectory for the sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential developments in sustainable fishing practices, consumer demand variations due to health preferences, and the impact of regulatory changes on capture fisheries. Innovations in preservation and transportation may also influence production dynamics.
