By 2023, France's whole fresh shark production for human consumption was approximately steady in the years leading up to 2024. Forecasts predict a gradual increase in production from 2024 at 4.9 metric tons to 5.2 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent upward trend, with minor increments of about 2% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects a steady growth trajectory, indicative of stable market demand and resource management strategies.
Future trends to watch include regulatory changes to fishing practices, potential shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable seafood options, and the impact of climate change on shark populations and marine ecosystems.
