The production of whole fresh Atlantic salmon in capture fisheries in France is forecasted to decline consistently from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 3.8 metric tons in 2024, a steady decrease is projected, dropping to 2.1 metric tons by 2028. This represents an annual average decrease, or CAGR, of approximately 11.3% over the five-year period. In context, production levels in 2023 were slightly higher, underscoring a notable downward trend in the coming years.
Looking forward, important trends to monitor include the influence of climate change on marine ecosystems, regulatory changes in fisheries management, evolving consumer preferences towards sustainably sourced seafood, and advancements in aquaculture technology and practices. These factors may impact both the supply side and market demand dynamics for salmon.
