In 2023, the production of whole fresh banded carpet shell in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was recorded, setting a baseline for the forecasted data beginning in 2024. The projections indicate a significant downward trend, with production anticipated to decrease steadily from 23.6 metric tons in 2024 to 10.8 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year changes denote consistent declines, highlighting an average reduction of production volume by approximately 14% annually over this time frame.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of environmental changes and overfishing affecting the species' availability.
- Regulatory adjustments that might impact sustainable fishing practices and production levels.
- Market demand shifts potentially influenced by consumer preferences and alternative seafood options.
