In 2023, the fresh small-spotted catshark production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at 1.35 million euros. Forecasted figures indicate a continual year-on-year decline in value, with a decrease of 7.38% in 2025, 7.91% in 2026, 8.48% in 2027, and 9.17% in 2028. Over this five-year span, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, reflecting a gradual reduction in market value.
Trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences, regulatory changes in fishing quotas, and sustainability initiatives that could alter market demand or access to these resources.
