In 2023, France's total shortfin squid production for human consumption from capture fisheries stood at 1.03 thousand metric tons. Forecasts indicate a steady rise, with production expected to reach 1.21 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year, we see percentage increases of approximately 2.8% to 3.5% for 2024 through 2028. This consistent growth results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 3.3% over the five years.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of climate change on squid populations, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and shifting consumer preferences toward sustainably sourced seafood, which may influence both demand and production practices.
