The fresh blue mussel production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. The value drops from 920.42 thousand euros in 2024 to 704.29 thousand euros in 2028. Year-on-year, there is a consistent reduction in value: approximately -5.95% from 2024 to 2025, -6.27% from 2025 to 2026, -6.63% from 2026 to 2027, and -7.02% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year span, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decrease which would have been observed looking back over the actual and forecasted data period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems, potentially affecting mussel habitats.
- Market demand variations due to changing consumer preferences.
- Policy regulations affecting fishing activities and sustainability initiatives.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture that may offer alternatives or improvements in production.
