As of the end of 2023, France's production of fresh Great Barracuda in capture fisheries was approximately 0.8 metric tons. Projections indicate a stable start in 2024 and 2025 at the same level. Anticipated increases place 2026 and 2027 at 0.9 metric tons, with a further augmentation to 1 metric ton by 2028. These forecasts imply gradual growth with no year-on-year variation initially, a 12.5% increase for 2026 and 2027, and an 11.1% increase moving into 2028. The five-year average growth rate (CAGR) is modest, reflecting deliberate and manageable expansion within this segment.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in fishery policies, climate impact on marine resources, and changing consumer preferences. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for aligning production strategies with market demands and environmental considerations.
