The forecast for filefishes and leatherjackets production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France points to a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, this production stood at a higher level, marking the beginning of a downward trend. Year-on-year analysis suggests a gradual decrease in value with an approximate annual average contraction of 4.2% over this five-year period. This reflects a challenging market environment influenced by factors such as sustainable fishing practices, declining fish populations, or changing consumer preferences.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of enhanced regulatory measures on fishing, evolving sustainability practices, and shifts in consumer demand potentially toward more sustainable or alternative seafood sources. Monitoring these factors will be key to anticipating further developments in this sector.
